## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy interesante
*by  on Reviewed in Spain 16 February 2014*

Libro del especialista en energía Vaclav Smil, al alcance de cualquier persona interesada. Debería ser de lectura obligatoria para muchos periodistas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bell'invito alle panoramiche energetiche dello sviluppo umano
*by  on Reviewed in Italy 27 February 2020*

Inglese non troppo impegnativo. Il libro espone in maniera basilare le conoscenze fisiche preliminari alle tematiche energetiche; per poi affrontare da vicino ogni tipo di energia cercando di esporre i pro ed i contro di ogni tecnologia.Non mancano comparazioni anche numeriche in grado di far riflettere non poco su quale possa essere il nostro sviluppo nei prossimi anni.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Energía como sistema operativo del mundo
*by  on Reviewed in Mexico 22 March 2019*

Entender la energía en todas sus dimensiones no es una tarea únicamente de ingenieros. Cualquier esfuerzo humano requiere conocer los principios, las fuerzas y los elementos que implican la transformación de energía en trabajo, calor, movimiento, etc. Esta lectura es recomendada para aquellos que tienen el interés de aprender un poco más de uno de los factores que más importantes resultan para el desarrollo y progreso de las sociedades modernas.
