Science and the history and future of humanity

This book considers how our human journey to where we are today, and where humanity will go in the future, are driven by consequences of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. It puts into perspective how the human population has exploded to take over the Earth, and how the "bronze age" and "iron age" transformed civilisation. It helps us to understand what happens in our own atmosphere, and the atmospheres of other planets. It provides guidance on how technology might address water scarcity affecting many parts of the world, and how food production might be sustained and expanded in a period of changing climate and an expanding global population.

Aceasta carte analizeaza modul in care calatoria noastra umana catre locul in care ne aflam astazi si unde va merge omenirea in viitor, este condusa de consecintele celei de-a doua legi a termodinamicii. Acesta pune in perspectiva modul in care populatia umana a explodat pentru a prelua Pamantul si modul in care „epoca bronzului” si „epoca fierului” au transformat civilizatia.
