Description
A new masterpiece from one of the world's leading scientists, Vaclav Smil, offers a compelling and highly readable analysis of the modern science and technology that underpins our twenty-first century lives. In "How the World Really Works", Smil provides a much-needed reality check, explaining seven fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through the globalization of our material world, to risks and our environment, Smil's investigation into what science really does, and does not, accomplish, leaves readers with the fundamental grounding needed to help solve the world's toughest challenges.
