简介 Intro

《How the World Really Works: How Science Can Set Us Straight on Our Past, Present and Future》—— Vaclav Smil

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“A new masterpiece from one of my favorite authors… [How The World Really Works] is a compelling and highly readable book that leaves readers with the fundamental grounding needed to help solve the world’s toughest challenges.”—Bill Gates

“Provocative but perceptive . . . You can agree or disagree with Smil—accept or doubt his ‘just the facts’ posture—but you probably shouldn’t ignore him.”—The Washington Post

An essential analysis of the modern science and technology that makes our twenty-first century lives possible—a scientist\’s investigation into what science really does, and does not, accomplish.

We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don’t know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food prosrcction, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check—because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.

In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn’t inevitable—the foolishness of allowing 70 per cent of the world’s rubber gloves to be made in just one factory became glaringly obvious in 2020—and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, such that any promises of decarbonization by 2050 are a fairy tale. For example, each greenhouse-grown supermarket-bought tomato has the equivalent of five tablespoons of diesel embedded in its prosrcction, and we have no way of prosrccing steel, cement or plastics at required scales without huge carbon emissions.

Ultimately, Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead? Compelling, data-rich and revisionist, this wonderfully broad, interdisciplinary guide finds faults with both extremes. Looking at the world through this quantitative lens reveals hidden truths that change the way we see our past, present and uncertain future.

读者评论 Readers\’ Comments

很喜欢这本书的节奏。它从大局出发，徐徐道来，系统地分析了现代世界在不同方面的运行机制与联系：Energy，Food Prosrcction，Material World，Globalization，Risks，Environment，Future。

比尔盖茨夏日书单 中肯的科普书籍 剖析了现代社会四大根基材料对燃油的依赖度 农业和食物生产一章很有趣 至于全球化 感觉现在确实处于合久必分的关口 新能源开发任重道远 不能只靠以旅游为己任的气候大会和假设不够科学的气候情景!

很精准严谨的一本书，但感觉没有看到让我很耳目一新的东西。

这并不是一本完美的书，数据多，句子长，有个小部分似乎和总论点关联不大。但对自己来讲，是一本非常有必要读的书，书中讲的很多生产生活现状我全然不了解。而且，作者能够抛去狂想，给世界一个更冷静的描述。
