Abstract

everyday disasters where progress has been characterized by intermittent and piecemeal trench warfare rather than a Waterloo-level victory. As noted in an earlier review of Vaclav Smil’s “How the World Really Works,” (Smil, 2022)through the ages, humans have demonstrated an ability to grapple with challenges and muddle through with a combination of successes and failures while maintaining a positive slope in the path of progress. “The Blessings of Disaster” can definitely be a useful guide for such muddling.

书评:《大迁移:气候变化和下一次美国移民》

日常灾难，进步的特点是间歇性和零碎的堑壕战，而不是滑铁卢级别的胜利。正如瓦茨拉夫·斯米尔（Vaclav Smil）的《世界是如何真正运作的》（Smil，2022）早期评论所指出的那样，人类在各个时代都表现出了应对挑战和应对成功与失败的能力，同时在进步的道路上保持着积极的斜率。《灾难的祝福》绝对可以成为这种混乱的有用指南。
