Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

Florence Nightingale is known for her revolutionary impact on medicine. She transformed the hospital system and dramatically reduced the death rate from infection and disease. She reformed the nursing profession from a job fitted only for women of low repute to one that employed dedicated, educated women who wanted a career in nursing. She was known internationally as the woman with the lantern who visited sick and wounded soldiers at night to soothe and comfort them.<\/p>\n

But what most people don\u2019t know is that Nightingale\u2019s influence went far beyond the medical profession. In an effort to make the results of her research on disease and death rates accessible to people, she began creating diagrams\u2014visual tools to allow people to see beyond the simple numbers they were reading in order to understand the true nature of what those numbers conveyed. She invented an array of circular diagrams and bar charts, many of which are still in use today or which have evolved to become commonplace to our modern eyes. The \u201cLady with the Lamp\u201d can also be credited as the \u201cLady with the Diagrams\u201d for her work in pioneering a way for mathematicians and statisticians to present bare facts as intelligible truths.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a \u201cDoing the Math\u201d section at the end of the book so that readers can try working out the math themselves!<\/p>\n
