“Smil's Energy is rich in thoughtful insights and written in sparkling prose, this little book offers a sweeping survey of the many ways that energy moves our economy and ecology.”
David G. Victor – Director, Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, Stanford University
A sweeping study on energy in all its myriad forms.
In this user-friendly and informative audiobook, prolific author and academic Vaclav Smil provides an introduction to this far-reaching term and gives the listener a greater understanding of energy's place in both past and present society.
Starting with an explanation of the concept, he goes on to cover such exciting topics as the inner workings of the human body, and the race for more efficient and environmentally friendly fuels.
Whether you're after insight or dinner table conversation, Energy will amaze and inform, uncovering the science behind one of the most important concepts in our universe.
“This admirably clear and comprehensive guide shows how we us and misuse energy, and the prospects, as ever more if us devour the Earth's diminishing capital of fossil fuels.”
Sir Crispin Tickell, Director of the Policy Foresight Programme at the James Martin 21st Century School, University of Oxford, and Chairman Emeritus of the Climate Institute, Washington, DC
