INŽINJERSKA KRITIKA I.G.SIMMONS: GLOBALNA POVIJEST OKOLIŠA
AN ENGINEER'S CRITIQUE OF I.G. SIMMONS: GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: In his capital environmental history book, I.G. Simmons presented the development of man’s impact to the Earth’s environment, basing his analyses on human disposal and control of energy flow and use. Such approach would imply that energy data presented must be accurate and intercomparable, to allow readers to understand their meaning and consequences in time. Through the analysis of data presented in the book, the author concluded that many data were incorrect or incorrectly presented. The author has also noticed that SI system of units has not been used throughout the book, forcing a curious reader to constantly use his calculator in order to compare various data.
