Book Discussion - The World Without Us

May 13, 2009

 

Village Readers

 

The May book selection perfectly fits with the Ecology theme for World Fair Trade Day May 9, 2009.  The book The World Without Us by Alan Weisman has us imagine the world without the human species. Chapter by chapter Weisman describes what crumbles and what lasts of all that man has made, from ancient times to the present day.  The specter awes, horrifies and gives us pause.  What are we doing, what have we done, what must we do?  Described as an eco-thriller, The World Without Us is a very engrossing read that rightly calls into question how we've regarded our world. 

Books are available to order with a $5.00 non-refundable deposit, or check out your local bookstore or library.
