How the World Really Works. Our Past, Present, and Future Through the Eyes of a Scientist
Every day we receive a huge amount of information, but for many, how the modern world... functions remains a mystery.
What happens when we flip a switch? How much diesel fuel is needed for a bowl of chicken soup to appear on our table? Who invented global warming? Vaclav Smil, a renowned Canadian scientist and analyst, knows how to handle statistics like no one else – it’s no coincidence that he is one of Bill Gates' favorite authors.
Using numbers, Smil unveils the truth about what drives our civilization: from energy and food production to globalization and the future of humanity.
