Award-winning American journalist Alan Weisman poses an extraordinary question: how would the Earth change if human beings vanished for good tomorrow? Weisman takes readers on a journey into a future unburdened by the human race – the ultimate predator and consumer of resources – and asks how the natural world would respond to our disappearance. Would the Earth’s climate recover from the effects of human activity? Would nature destroy our sprawling cities? How would nature reduce our myriad plastics and toxic synthetics? Don’t miss a fascinating exploration of our very surprising legacy as he identifies how long our greatest achievements would last and how severe the fallout of our failures would be.
