Book Review of The World Without Us

The World Without Us
reviewed on + 177 more book reviews


Although there are a few enlightening and informative historical tidbits, this book is primarily environmental alarmism, with the narrative thesis of how long it would take the planet to recover from us as a connective theme. Most of the information will be repetitive to the ecologically literate, and the tone is wearying. For example, one of the first chapters is about which parts of your house will rot first.
