具体描述
A penetrating, page-turning tour of a post-human Earth
In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanity’s impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us.In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman 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.The World Without Us reveals how, just days after humans disappear, floods in New York’s subways would start eroding the city’s foundations, and how, as the world’s cities crumble, asphalt jungles would give way to real ones. It describes the distinct ways that organic and chemically treated farms would revert to wild, how billions more birds would flourish, and how cockroaches in unheated cities would perish without us. Drawing on the expertise of engineers, atmospheric scientists, art conservators, zoologists, oil refiners, marine biologists, astrophysicists, religious leaders from rabbis to the Dali Lama, and paleontologists---who describe a prehuman world inhabited by megafauna like giant sloths that stood taller than mammoths---Weisman illustrates what the planet might be like today, if not for us.From places already devoid of humans (a last fragment of primeval European forest; the Korean DMZ; Chernobyl), Weisman reveals Earth’s tremendous capacity for self-healing. 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. It is narrative nonfiction at its finest, and in posing an irresistible concept with both gravity and a highly readable touch, it looks deeply at our effects on the planet in a way that no other book has.

读后感
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...
评分 评分人类可能经常在头脑中想象，如果没有鱼、没有鸟儿，这个世界会是怎样，但是是否曾经有一秒钟，你会想象如果这个世界没有人类会怎么样？ 艾伦•韦斯曼无疑为我们提供了这样一个新奇的视角，而这样的一个视角才是本书最大的特点与贡献吧。看《三体》第三部结尾的时候，阅读充满...
评分总想构思一个故事，一个发生在人类灭绝之后，地球上新的智慧生物之间的故事。人类留下的遗迹是怎样影响到他们的生活的，他们怎么看待我们这些曾经在地球上生活过的生物。这本书详细地描述了人类离开以后地球的样子，内容很丰富，涉及很多方面。我们居住的房子怎么腐朽，艺术品...
用户评价
如果人类忽然集体消失，地球将会怎样？ 被驯化的狗大概会灭绝，而野性犹存的猫可以坚持下来。巴拿马运河的闸门和大坝坚持不了几年，石油炼化厂和核电站也迟早会爆炸燃烧。曼哈顿几百年后就会变回丛林，总统山的雕像却能留存七百万年。 从波兰与白俄罗斯交界处欧洲最后的原始森林，到美洲大陆消失的巨型动物与玛雅人；从土耳其的地下城市，到朝韩三八线上出人意料的丹顶鹤生态区；从脆弱的金曼礁珊瑚，到近乎永生的塑料垃圾和核废料……唯一确定的是，人类不过是地球偶得的一场病毒，而时间终将令地球自愈。
评分看着还是这样~~~~
评分书里详细描述了如果人类消失 这个世界会变成什么样。各种植物怎么爬上屋子 一所房子大概需要100到150年就会彻底消失。瓷砖很难消融掉 可能会留作未来考古证据。各种动物会怎么占领城市 大型动物慢慢重新出现。作者描述的很细致 感觉到屋子一点点在你面前瓦解。超喜欢这本书想法奇特而有趣
评分The most mavelous sparkle in this book, is not the imagination of the world without us, but is the impressive sad facts, we human being have realy damaged a lot to the world we living in, finally and definitely we will destroy it in the end, but everyone shoud try our best to slow the progress, spare a single plastic bag every day be a good start.
评分It's an interesting thought experiment: what would happen if human race suddenly disappears from the earth overnight? It turns out that the earth is so powerful to repair itself and within a couple hundred years most of human traces will be eliminated. However, it is a little too detailed for my interest.
