Nonfiction Book of the Year Finalist for the National Book Critics
Circle Award Over 3 million copies sold in 35 Languages "On the day
after humans disappear, nature takes over and immediately begins
cleaning house - or houses, that is. Cleans them right off the face
of the earth. They all go." What if mankind disappeared right now,
forever... what would happen to the Earth in a week, a year, a
millennium? Could the planet's climate ever recover from human
activity? How would nature destroy our huge cities and our myriad
plastics? And what would our final legacy be? Speaking to experts
in fields as diverse as oil production and ecology, and visiting
the places that have escaped recent human activity to discover how
they have adapted to life without us, Alan Weisman paints an
intriguing picture of the future of Earth. Exploring key concerns
of our time, this absorbing thought experiment reveals a powerful -
and surprising - picture of our planet's future.
