Vaclav' Smil's books are *great* (Inc mis pronounce his name though, it's more like _Vass_ than _Vack_) - Good video thank you.

Vaclav Smil is super dense. Smart guy but could explain much simpler

Wonder if he read a book on bullet proof vests before he bought his ?? They went for checkmate soon !

Never heard of them. I wonder if these books are all new and if it’s just for promo.

Gates needs to read the book “Circumcision: the hidden trauma “ by Dr. Goldman.

Shameful you have a piece on this man.

Books are clearly not as important as they used to be. Don't get me wrong they haven't gotten any less powerful. It's just that we have so many different mediums of information at our fingertips now: youtube videos, articles, online courses, podcasts, even video games just to name a few. If you want to learn as much as you can, it's well worth diversifying the mediums with which that learning is done. As well as the political leanings of the sources where possible (discomfort at that prospect is normal, but trust me going on in spite of it will make you a better person)
