About This Item
US: Penguin, 2023. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. 'There is no author whose books I look forward to more' Bill Gates The New York Times bestselling author returns with a mind-opening explorati on of how size defines life on Earth. Explaining the key processes shaping size in nature, society and technology , Smil busts myths around proportions - from bodies to paintings and the so -called golden ratio - tells us what Jonathan Swift got wrong in Gulliver's Travels - the giant Brobdingnagian's legs would buckle under their enormou s weight - and dives headfirst into the most contentious issue in ergonomic s: the size of aeroplane seats. It is no exaggeration to say this fascinating and wide-ranging tour de force will change the way you look at absolutely everything.
