'There is no author whose books I look forward to more' Bill Gates
The New York Times bestselling author returns with a mind-opening
exploration 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 enormous weight - and dives headfirst into the most
contentious issue in ergonomics: 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.
