Review: Perfect. - I bought this book on Bill Gates recommendation. Now I realise why he recommended this. A fantastic read.
Review: Smil is story teller - Vaclav Smil is one of the favourites. Books after books, he has told the real story of our civilization. I can't say I have read ample books on the industrial revolution, but I can certainly say that this book is one of the most storytelling and easy-going piece of art.

*by V***M on 28 August 2023*

This book is a read for everyone, provides a new prospective as to how energy is the real currency and how harvesting, harnessing it provides us with real power. It also tells us that, this generation is taking a great effort to reduce deforestation.
