  • "Presents a narrative nonfiction that examines the human impact upon the earth and how it would respond without the pressure of human presence."@en
  • "本书讲述了人类销声匿迹以后, 我们的基础设施建筑是如何土崩瓦解, 最终又如何消失殆尽的. 描述了充斥着化学物质的农场将如何退回原始状态, 鸟类等生物将面对如何的命运等."
  • "Take us off the Earth and what traces of us would linger? Weisman writes about which objects from today would vanish without us; how our pipes, wires, and cables would be pulverized into a line of red rock, and why some museums and churches might be the last human creations left standing."
  • "Journalist Weisman offers an original approach to questions of humanity's impact on the planet. Drawing on the expertise of engineers, atmospheric scientists, art conservators, zoologists, oil refiners, marine biologists, astrophysicists, religious leaders, and paleontologists, he illustrates what the planet might be like today if humans disappeared. He explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and finally vanish without human presence; which everyday items may become immortalized as fossils; how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, radio waves, and some man-made molecules may be our most lasting gifts to the universe. As he shows which human devastations are indelible, and which examples of our highest art and culture would endure longest, Weisman's narrative ultimately drives toward a radical but persuasive solution that needn't depend on our demise.--From publisher description."

  • "Most books about the environment build on dire threats warning of the possible extinction of humanity. Alan Weisman avoids frightening off readers by disarmingly wiping out our species in the first few pages of this remarkable book. He then continues with an astounding depiction of how Earth will fare once we're no longer around. The World Without Us is a one-of-a-kind book that sweeps through time from the moment of humanity's future extinction to millions of years into the future. Drawing on interviews with experts and on real examples of places in the world that have already been abandoned by humans'Chernobyl, the Korean DMZ and an ancient Polish forest'Weisman shows both the shocking impact we've had on our planet and how impermanent our footprint actually is."@en
