The World without Us by Alan Weisman
Take us off the Earth and what traces of us would linger? And which would disappear? This book is about which objects would vanish without us; how our pipes, wires, and cables would be pulverized into red rock; why some museums and churches might be the last human creations standing; how rats and roaches would struggle without us; and more.Alan Weisman recently left CBS News after more than twenty-five years as a writer and producer on news broadcasts such as 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite, and the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. He has also worked for Time Life and Charlie Rose. Weisman has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered and in other major publications.
