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.

评分《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...

评分 评分这本书,吸引我的是她的题目,而勾住我的还是她的内容。 我是瓶男,天生特有的性格特征,这本收非常对我的味,我可以和作者一起去想像一个没有我们的世界,就像是我和作者在一起讨论如何,更或者像是我和作者在一起写这本书一样,我沉浸其中。 当然,这本书所写的内容还...
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.
