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為美國2005年2月號《發現》雜志寫過一篇短文《沒有人的地球》，專門論述人類毀滅后的問題。在今年7月10日出版的第五本著作《沒有我們的世界》中，他對這個問題做出更為深遠的推論。此書是一部科普著作，他為地球的未來留下了種種可怕的預言，并預想了人類消失之后將會發生的一系列事件。
