Nice book.Few corrections concerning Chernobyl accident discussed in chapter4. First, RBMK reactor is shielded (it is not be possible to operateunshielded reactor). Second, the accident was much worse than the coremeltdown. Destruction of the reactor started by powerexcursion. Reactor confinement was destroyed by explosions. Itprovided leakpath for radioactivity release. Fire of graphitemoderator then lifted radioactive gas and particles to thestratosphere.Comment to the E-book typography: using of two font sizes rends thebook difficult to read on Kindle (at least with my eyes).
I picked up Vaclav Smil's Energy because I wanted to better understand mankind's current use of energy, and to develop a better perspective on how I personally consume energy. The book was perfect for both of these purposes.At ~200 pages, I figured the book would provide a quick survey of many topics at a high level, and wouldn't read like a science textbook. This is true, but someone looking for an overview should know that this book is packed with detailed explanations of the topics that are covered. As a non-scientist, this book increased my knowledge and certainly shed light on the applications to modern life that I was looking for.I highly recommend this book.
Excellent summary for an intro energy college class. Quantitative tables and sidebars but very readable main text. Half the book covers energy in the natural world and human nutrition as foragers. The rest is a bit rushed but can be supplemented by Smil's excellent 2017 Oil 2nd ed and Natural Gas books, all very reasonably priced.
The first chapter is tedious. I never did fully internalize some of the more esoteric concepts in college, such as mols and joules, and still don't, but the rest of the book is chuck full of amazing data and factoids.It left me in awe of just how much we humans have come to know. Also, it puts in perspective some of the climate change issues. Just remember, there will not be a quiz and enjoy knowing that out there scientists actually understand a lot more than today's media can ever present.
Definitely has some great information regarding the topic, though there is no compelling narrative to make you absorb those facts and integrate them into your memory bank.
I read “Energy and Civilization†enjoyed that and decided to read this book. I think one or the other is sufficient. They both are good and communicate our reliance on fossil fuels and the need to find alternatives.
Super interesting book, it is an amazing introduction to energy as a concept and its history.Then leads you into the practical uses we as humans have mastered and how what we can somewhat achieve with it in the future! Amazing book!
Vaclav Smil has a great way of presenting facts and figures so that you understand them in context.I learned a lot from this.
