From the internationally bestselling author, a revealing look at the surprising numbers that uncover the hidden forces shaping our world From the internationally bestselling author, a revealing look at the surprising numbers that uncover the hidden forces shaping our world

What do marriage, milk and the black market tell us about the state of humanity? Most people would say, not much at all. But the numbers reveal startling truths about who we are, how we live and where we're headed. For centuries we've told ourselves stories about how the world works - yet the data often point to a very different reality. In Numbers Behind Stories, Vaclav Smil shows how statistics challenge conventional thinking and illuminate the hidden forces shaping our lives.
