Reviews From Customers
Everyone who lives and breathes should read this book. A high quality read, the author exquisitely develops the history of modern man (and woman) through the lens of how each and every one of us effects the world as it developed over the past 600 years. I will be using this book and citing the numerous facts to illuminate others of just how we impact the environment. This is a must read!

While in the West the ecology is strengthening its foothold in public discourse, most of the world’s inhabitants live in conditions lagging decades behind the developed countries. Numbers don’t lie – there is little chance for Earth to house 10 billion people with energy, nutritional and material requirements of US or EU citizens. Vaclav Smil – true to his belief in empiricism – provides abundance of evidence, illustrating centuries of development of global civilization through numbers. While for most of history the progress was minuscule, in modern times everything goes up – be it production of cement, steel or fertilizers. Where is the end of this? What quality of life can be expected by our children? The author refrains from decisive verdicts, rightly stating that global dynamics are too complex to make good predictions. Instead, his work is a lay of the land of the high-level trends which brought us to the current, problematic state of affairs.
Four stars because the style is little dry, but surely you can add one if you are involved in long-term strategic planning.

This well-written book provides a deep discussion of main grand transitions making the modern world, such as energy sources. It also strikes a good balance between apocalypse and super-humans as promised by misleading best-sellers.
But, surprisingly, it misses what may well be the most fateful grand transition, namely the totally novel capacity of the human species to terminate its existence as a species. It is the production of nuclear bombs starting around 2045, followed by gene editing and advancing AI, which constitute much more than a grand transition, namely a fundamental metamorphosis of humanity into a species that can steer its own evolution, for better and worse.
To control this power over the future of homo Sapiens as a species, radically novel global capacities to govern are required. The book hints at this fateful need, such as quoting Georgescu-Roegen, who stated “To economize energy . . . is not a task for one nation or even some nations. The task requires the cooperation of all nations, a point which reveals that there is a far more dreadful crisis than that of energy, namely, the crisis of the wisdom of homo sapiens sapiens” (p. 290); and stating correctly that “it is naive to expect that scores of today’s dysfunctional states (unable to provide, despite their often considerable natural riches, a decent quality of life to their own citizens) will suddenly become effective partners contributing to the salvation of the global commons” (p. 290), followed by “Affluent countries should be capable of effective concerted action, but they would have to commit to a strategy of moderation and deliberate decline, promises that have yet to win any election (p. 290).
But the book ignores the significance of such hints, such as the necessity to move towards a “Global Octopus” (more virtuous than the Hobbesian Leviathan). Thus it misses what may well be the most critical folcrum.

Always amazing books from Professor Smil
Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2021
This book continues on many of Smil’s themes from previous books on energy, the biosphere and growth. As always the research is beyond impressive. The strength of this book is leading us through the interdependency of the great transitions and the impacts of these interactions. Reading more than 1 Smil book should be a pre-requisite for anyone before being allowed to have a social media account!
