Managing people is difficult wherever you work.

In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.

This in-depth book shows you how to understand your role, manage your time, master strategic thinking, and set the standard for technical work.
