Numbers Don't Lie: 71 Things You Need to Know About the World by Vaclav Smil

2.0

I’m glad that the epilogue clarified that this was, essentially, a collection of blog posts, because it has the thematic cohesion of a collection of blog posts. None of them individually was earth-shattering or revelatory, but as a whole it was a bit of a disorienting mess of points.

I wanted to read this book hoping to at least pick up some ‘fun facts’ but I’m not sure I’ve even done that.
