I do quite a bit of paid reviewing for chemical journals but unfortunately none of them asked me to cover this book. Haber was a fascinating character and Bosch has long been a hero of mine, and to be paid to read more about them is something I could relate to.

It’s because I’m interested in the influence of chemistry and related technologies on world history, and I doubt if there are any breakthoughs with such immediate implications as this one. If it had come even two years later the entire course of twentieth century European history would have been different. OK, I’ll come off my hobby-horse now. What about the book itself? It’s ...

Energies: An Illustrated Guide to the Biosphere and Civilizationby: V Smil April 04, 2000 |
||
|
This is a fascinating book. It provides a comprehensive and integrated survey of the energies shaping our world. It is filled with diagrams, graphs, maps, drawings and photographs to support the text. This book can't be described. It has to be experienced: energy production of the sun, global patterns of latent heat flux, a horse's suspensory and check ligaments that allow it to use hardly any additional energy for standing, preindustrial societies, cars and computers and much more. Use this book for reference and for browsing. Spend an afternoon with a calculator and the figures listed in the tables in this book. You will begin to appreciate the complex relationships involving the energies that shape our world. >>More Details |
