Grand Transitions: How the Modern World Was Made
Smil, Vaclav (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Manitoba)
What makes the modern world work? The answer to this deceptively simple question lies in four "grand transitions" of civilization-in populations, agriculture, energy, and economics-which have transformed the way we live. Now a fifth transition is underway: the environmental changes that will determine the success or eventual failure of the preceding transitions that have made the world we inhabit today.
