This was an entertaining and informative read. I found myself sharing what I learned from this book with those around me. I recommend it to fans of good and highly readable non-fiction.

What role does size play in determining the qualities of organisms and other complex systems? This book sets out to answer that question, exploring such diverse topics as art, income inequality, and climate change. There's a lot of interesting information in this easy-to-read book.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I love Vaclav Smil. The short chapters make a lot of facts super easy to swallow and remember and the variety is so interesting
