ISBN: 9780520246782 / Angielski / Miękka / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Nobel laureate Robert Fogel's compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology from 1700 to 2100. Although throughout most of human history, chronic malnutrition has been the norm, a synergy between improvements in productive technology and human physiology has enabled humans to more than double their average longevity and to increase their body size by over fifty percent over the past three centuries.
