Wie die Welt wirklich funktioniert: Die fossilen Grundlagen unserer Zivilisation und die Zukunft der Menschheit

Smil covers so many topics — I wonder what led to choosing this broad, analytical approach instead of focusing on one theme.

The book jumps between history, science, and economics, which kept me on my toes. Was this breadth intentional to challenge the reader’s understanding?

Given the vast subject matter, I’m curious about the selection process — what was prioritized and what was left out?
