folder size info

When I view my folders in the finder as a list, it doesn't tell me how bid the folders are.

There's a size culumn, but it's blank.
Is there any way to vew the size of a folder without clicking "get info"?

Also, if i need to know the size of several folders and I click "get info", it opens up several individual "get info" windows and assumes I do the math!

Is there any way of finding out the total size of (for example) 7 folders?

In Finder go to the View menu and choose the "Show View options" (CMD J). The window that appears has a box at the bottom "Calculate Sizes" . Tis will do the folder sizes. But I don't know of a way to add the size of a selection.
