Germany’s solar program. The Japanese diet. Wheat production in Kansas. Point Vaclav Smil at a topic and wait for his genius to spill out.
Named by Foreign Policy as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers, Vaclav Smil shares the processes that make the world work and the solutions to big issues that will lead to prosperity – not just survival.
