Books
If you are actually reading this, you have got to read "The World Without us, by Alan Weisman. It is fascinating. It describes in great detail what would happen if we humans simply vanished. No nuclear bombs, no asteroid crashes, just us, gone. Nature will take over once again and thrive! The cities will decay and crumble! Endangered species will recover! Indigenous plants will overcome their imported enemies! Your house will be bombarded by water, bugs, birds, racoons, and creeping plants!!
