David Boyce suggested I should submit my review of Vaclav Smil’s book for publication after I shared it with him.   Smil’s perspective on climate change initiatives might be of interest to regional scientists and transportation planners, he told me.   At his suggestion, I submitted the review to Papers in Regional Science.   To my pleasant surprise, the editor recommended acceptance with minor revision within a day, and  the review was published a week after the first submission, definitely a record for me.  If you don’t have subscription, read it here.  The published version is only slightly different from the blog.
