The World Without Us - Alan Weisman
I read this book and attended a very thought provoking interview with Alan Weisman in 2009 at the UWA Writers Festival.He is thought provoking because he highlights our place in the history of the earth and what it would be like if we immdeiately disappeared.Not quite science fiction...but propositional.What would happen to the world and what processes would renew ,change or transform our footprint on the planet..How significant and resilient are we?How long lasting is our culture and achievements?It helps position our selves today as well in regards to climate change...and what forces we are tinkering with and upsetting needlessly...
