Alan Weisman is a journalist and the author of numerous books. His writing has won several major awards and has appeared in The New York Times Magazine and the Los Angeles Times Magazine.
How would the world change if human beings vanished from the earth right now, for good? What would the planet be like in a day, a week, a month...a millennium? Just how long will our greatest achievements and our biggest mistakes last after we are gone? To discover the answers, Alan Weisman looks to areas of the world that are currently unoccupied and speaks to experts in fields ranging from nuclear physics to archaeology. He reveals how the natural world would react to our disappearance and wrestles with some of the key concerns of our time to offer an intriguing glimpse of the real legacy of our existence on the planet. 'Compelling...jammed packed with fascinating 'what if's" - "Guardian". 'The results of this huge thought-experiment are both fascinating and surprising' - "Daily Mail". 'Flesh-creepingly good fun...an expert-led fantasia of the post-human planet' - "Independent". 'A wonderful idea...This is a terrific book' - "Scotsman".

评分译文比较考究,感觉像散文一样。但是对我来说,却没有足够的信息量。 既然自己读不下去,怎么还给打4星啊?原因是,相信还是有很多人会喜欢这本书的。
评分今日在《纽约》杂志上看到一文,说哥伦比亚大学环境科学和微生物教授Dickson Despommier博士建议,解决气候变暖,一个治本的办法是开展skyfarming(摩天大楼农业)。他设想建立30层高的摩天大楼,里头种菜种水果。北京办奥运不是有一口号吗,办绿色奥运。我在想,假如北京的三...
评分不得不承认这是一个舍弃了小我大胆的构想,但也是一个饱含人文关怀的末世寓言。艾伦•韦斯曼在《没有我们的世界/THE WORLD WITHOUT US》中给了我们一个人类从地球突然消失的提前假设。这个假设很容易纵容我们忘却人类是如何暴虐伤害地球并最终导致消亡的残酷事实,跳出个人存...
