  |Character Information|

 

This is a book based on a fascinating premise and written with knowledge, intrigue and skill.

The question is this: What would happen to earth, its current structures and the environment if the human race suddenly vanished from the planet? This is not science fiction, but rather a gripping exploration of what would be the scientific and ecological impact on our planet if humans ceased to exist? Thought-provoking in so many different ways, it makes us reflect upon what we are doing to destroy the earth -- and what a gift the earth is to human life.

科普作家韦斯曼曾经为美国2005年2月号《发现》杂志写过一篇短文《没有人的地球》,专门论述人类毁灭后的问题。在今年7月10日出版的第五本著作《没有我们的世界》中,他对这个问题做出更为深远的推论。此书是一部科普著作,他为地球的未来留下了种种可怕的预言,并预想了人类消失之后将会发生的一系列事件。
