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".

評分《没有我们的世界》不是一本新书。在买了太多小说后,觉得有必要阅读一下其他方面内容,就挑了这本《没有我们的世界》,谁知翻开后,就不忍放下。 《没有我们的世界》,是一本环保意识很浓的书,开头几章,描述了人类一旦忽然消失,这个世界会如何发展,你以为坚不...
評分今日在《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...
