Academic journals charge for colour printing. Hundreds of pounds if you want colour figures.

I mean, nobody will ever actually read the printed version but techically your figures should be legible there.

I meant it can't "still" be readable in B&W because it isn't readable in color

This speculation is based only on the tiny "SCMP graphics" tag in the corner, but I think this might be less "dumb person doesn't know Chinese languages are very different" and more "Chinese partisan leaning into the importance/unity of 'Chinese' language and people"

I don't think anyone's pointed out that the creator of that circle used the complete wrong definition of Asia Minor (it's Anatolia).

It is also really useless visualization in general, since it accounts only for ~4.12 billion people.

So basically that graph leaves almost half of the planet out for the sake of clarity, and does not say anything about the languages used or understood, only lists the native languages that have more than 50M speakers.

Right, and isn't Asia Major a term only used in antiquity? Referring to Persia or something?

Not if you’re talking to Americans, for whom “Asian” stops applying to anything north/west of China and Myanmar.

That's not self help material, this is a serious book on education policy! Here, let me put one of the reviews in context:

quote:



“ The authors have done nothing less than provide a bold framework for
designing a 21st century approach to education, an approach aimed at preparing
all of our children to successfully meet the challenges of this brave,
new world.”
—Paul Reville, Secretary of Education, Commonwealth of Massachusetts

There's also this pentagram of education on page 157 (pdf

In addition to bad labelling the 75/25 ratio needs backup questions such as 'how many lovers have you had' , and are 'are you lying?'
