Krátky popis
'There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav
Smil' Bill Gates'Smil's title says it all: to understand the world,
you need to follow the trendlines, not the headlines. This is a
compelling, fascinating, and most important, realistic portrait of
the world and where it's going' Steven PinkerIs flying dangerous?
How much do the world's cows weigh? And what makes people happy?
From Earth's nations and inhabitants, through the fuels and foods
that energize them, to the transportation and inventions of our
modern world - and how all of this affects the planet itself - in
Numbers Don't Lie, Professor Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding
adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to
challenge lazy thinking. Smil is on a mission to make facts matter,
because after all, numbers may not lie, but which truth do they
convey? 'The best book to read to better understand our world.It
should be on every bookshelf!' Linda Yueh'For anyone confused by
statistics or dubious of data in a world where numbers seem to mean
everything and nothing' BBC Science Focus'There is perhaps no other
academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian'An
author who does not allow facts to be obscured or overshadowed by
politics' New York Review of Books'He's a slayer of bullshit' David
Keith, Harvard UniversityVaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor
Emeritus at the University of Manitoba. He is the author of over
forty books on topics including energy, environmental and
population change, food production and nutrition, technical
innovation, risk assessment and public policy. No other living
scientist has had more books (on a wide variety of topics) reviewed
in Nature.A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, in 2010 he was
named by Foreign Policy as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers. This
is his first book for a more general readership.
