Numbers don't lie
Synopsis
Vaclac Smil, a mathematician/environment specialists analyses 71 themes in a very short manner related to math/engineering/social sciences/environment.
My take
The mind of Smil is impressive. The book is super informative, and at the same time it's weirdly useless book for it facts.
The good thing is to see how he came to conclusions. I don't see myself rereading it to remember all the facts and conclusions, a lot of open conclusions as well. Seeing the use of data was super interesting though
