Here's an interesting programme from the BBC - The Joy of Stats. An amusing and interesting look at the importance and relevance of statistics within our lives. I'm reminded of a quote that one of my team (Arthur) likes to requote - "there are lies, damn lies and statistics".
You will find a helpful reminder of one of the many statistical graphics that I use regularly - the normal distribution curve. Its perhaps an unusual recommendation - but do have a look, I challenge you not to be intrigued. There is an amazing graphic (truly!) showing the development of global health and wealth over the last 200 years.
