Book Review: How the World really works by Vaclav Smil

I often like to pick up books and have no clue what it is really about. So, I found this book on a recommended reading list from Bill Gates and a colleague mentioned that they have cited Vaclav Smil in a dissertation.

Lamma Blooms

I sincerely wish we could take more care of our planet, there is so much beauty in it and climate change (caused by us) is threatening it all. Spending time in nature is one of the most awesome ways of reconnecting and understanding that we are living on this earth with other living things. We are not here to dominate everything.
