Numbers and Related Means of Deception
Presented by Mike Hannisian
Numbers are precise, but people are all too often not precise in their usage or understanding of numbers. There are times when this is reasonable and understandable, but there are also times when this is done out of ignorance or to mislead and take advantage of people. The reasons underlying this situation are varied, but generally have a single underlying factor.
Mike Hannisian taught post secondary English and secondary math, was a civil trial attorney, and ran a non-profit land trust. (He readily admits he does not know what he wants to do when he grows up.) Mike also has been a photographer since 1968 and has taught and led photography and natural history workshops from Maine to Florida and Michigan to Texas since the mid 1970s. He has also been an Associate Naturalist with the Cape May Bird Observatory, was a charter member of the Rio Grande Valley Chapter Texas Master Naturalists, a Certified Interpretive Guide, and the Resident Naturalist at the Indian Ridge B&B. Mike repeatedly had winning images at the Valley Land Fund’s Wildlife Photography Contests, including Best of Contest in 2008. Mike’s writings and photos have been published in various books and magazines. A variety of his images can be seen on his FB page.
