Product specs

What does speed mean across the natural world and human life? Vaclav Smil examines everything from the slow movement of geological processes to the speed of light, looking at how speed is measured and where its limits lie.

He also considers the relationship between speed and technology, and questions the assumption that modern life is accelerating in every respect. The result is an exploration of a familiar idea across very different scales of time and distance.
