For those of you who are wondering what to do during your free time, why not try reading a book? I would like to recommend to you an interesting book that I am currently reading.....it's titled "The World Without Us." It's a book that was written by Alan Weisman. Who exactly is this Alan Weisman anyway?
"Alan Weisman is an award-winning journalist whose reports have appeared in Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, Discover and on NPR, among others. A former contributing editor to the Los Angeles Times Magazines, he is a senior radio producer for Homelands Productions and teaches international journalism at the University o Arizona. His essay 'Earth Without People', on which The World Without Us expands, was selected for Best American Science Writing 2006" (Excerpt from The World Without Us)
This book has received ravenous reviews, some of which are as the following:
"Weisman's enthralling tour of the world of tomorrow explores what little will remain of ancient times while anticipating, often poetically, what a planet without us would be like." -Publishers Weekly
"One of the most ambitious thought experiments ever." -The Cincinnati Enquirer
This is the book that will be able to answer the ultimate question: What happens to the earth when human beings disappear?
