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.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.

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...

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。

略有點科幻的 但是讓你知道 人類(更無用說個人)的曆史和地球(更不用說宇宙)相比是如斯的渺小 所以當下最重要。
