The World Without Us written by Alan Weisman is a non-fiction book that turned out to be a best selling book in 2007. This book was a shocking revelation to me and should raise awareness to other human beings living on earth. Not only does this book expressed the changes that have occur in the past it also mentions the effects we humans have made to nature. How much harm can human beings do to nature? What have they done to repair the damages or if they have even tried to? These questions are to be answered in the book. One important idea is that yet humans live and die but nature can be impacted by humans and yet prospers without humans. The purpose of this book is not only to inform human beings of the damages we have created here on earth but also to show us how nature itself can repair itself if humans were to disappear.

The first section mentions forests, destruction of homes, the city of Manhattan, ice age, ancient animals, and African regions. Starting in Europe Weisman bring to my attention that war has brought a great effect on the animals, such as the bison’s. War has caused a great controversy in regards to their forest and their boundaries to which other countries can access. This boundary has caused many animals to be restricted as where they can roam and has lowered the population of animals due to breeding. I’m in favor of the forests workers who protested in favor of saving the forest and not chopping down trees for human consumption. By chopping trees they would vanish the biodiversity that the Puscza forest offers. It is interesting to know that if we were to disappear the forest would actually expand and be more sufficient and prosper
