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.

科普作家韋斯曼曾經(jīng)為美國(guó)2005年2月號(hào)《發(fā)現(xiàn)》雜志寫過(guò)一篇短文《沒(méi)有人的地球》，專門論述人類毀滅后的問(wèn)題。在今年7月10日出版的第五本著作《沒(méi)有我們的世界》中，他對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題做出更為深遠(yuǎn)的推論。此書是一部科普著作，他為地球的未來(lái)留下了種種可怕的預(yù)言，并預(yù)想了人類消失之后將會(huì)發(fā)生的一系列事件。
