Klappentext

Creating and Transforming the Twentieth Century combines two of Vaclav Smil's seminal works--Creating the Twentieth Century and Transforming the Twentieth Century--in this revised and expanded edition. Covering technical advances that shaped the period from 1867 through the end of the 20th century, this new edition contains numerous updates and features a new preface and a final chapter examining key themes in light of major 21st-century events and publications. Now in a single volume, these classic texts remain central to Smil's acclaimed oeuvre, and their lessons are perennially fascinating.
