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.

評分 評分2007年12月14日下午2:00与作者北京国图(中关村南路)学术报告厅亲密接触吧。美国亚利桑那大学学者艾伦·韦斯曼受邀来京演讲,有兴趣就去参加吧。应该还不错。
評分花了一周看完了。 哎,现在已经很幸福了。 看得见蓝天白云,种着清脆鲜嫩的蔬菜,在夕阳余晖下和一家人吹着凉凉的晚风在天台吃饭。 看的到孩子天真的笑脸,看得见老人安详的面庞,看得到爱人至今还在长着青春痘的长脸。。。。。。 没有我们的世界,会有一段漫长的调整期吧。毕...
