"Vaclav Smil's appreciation of energy systems combines Thomas Edison and Franz Kafka. He celebrates innovation and progress but also vividly shows the strange fates and fall-out of what appear to be some of humanity's best machines."–Jesse H. Ausubel, Director, Program for the Human Environment, The Rockefeller University
