Description
Numbers Don't Lie is a fascinating exploration of the world we live in, revealing surprising statistics and illuminating graphs that challenge our understanding of the world. Professor Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, covering everything from the fuels and foods that energize us, to the transportation and inventions of our modern world, and how these all affect the planet itself.
By following the trendlines, rather than the headlines, Smil offers a compelling and realistic portrait of the world and where it's going. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to better understand our world and the complex issues that shape it.
