Energia y civilizacion (Energy and Civilization) Audiobook Summary

La energia es la unica moneda de cambio universal. Sin transformacion de energia, no hay nada. La vida en la Tierra depende de la conversion de la energia solar en biomasa vegetal, mientras que los seres humanos hemos aprendido a utilizar otros flujos de energia, como los combustibles fosiles o la generacion fotovoltaica de electricidad. En esta monumental historia, Vaclav Smil ofrece una impresionante panoramica de como la energia ha impulsado el progreso cultural y economico de las sociedades humanas durante los ultimos diez mil anos, desde los primeros grupos de cazadores-recolectores hasta la civilizacion fosil, pasando por las sociedades agricolas tradicionales y la <> que lo cambio todo. Energia y civilizacion es la gran obra maestra de Vaclav Smil, <> segun la revista Science. Una lectura fascinante en la que se habla de todo: agricultura, transporte, construccion, economia, ecologia, guerra, tipos de carbon, petroleo, electricidad, hornos, motores, piramides y mucho mas. Stories mould who we are, from our character to our cultural identity. They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions and shape our politics and beliefs. We use them to construct our relationships, to keep order in our law courts, to interpret events in our newspapers and social media. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story – from Joseph Campbell’s well-worn theories about myth and archetype to recent attempts to crack the ‘Bestseller Code’. But few have used a scientific approach. This is curious, for if we are to truly understand storytelling in its grandest sense, we must first come to understand the ultimate storyteller – the human brain. In this scalpel-sharp, thought-provoking audiobook, Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us, leading us on a journey from the Hebrew scriptures to Mr Men, from Booker Prize-winning literature to box set TV. Applying dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to the foundations of our myths and archetypes, he shows how we can use these tools to tell better stories – and make sense of our chaotic modern world.
