The World Without Us.
A Penetrating Page-turning Tour Of A Post-human Earth In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman Offers An Utterly Original Approach To Questions Of Humanity's Collision On The Planet: he Asks Us To Envision Our Earth, Without Us.
In This Far-reaching Na5rative, Weisman Explains How Our Massive Infrastructure Would Collapse And Ultimately Vanish Without Human Presence; Which Everyday Items May Become Immortalized As Fossils; How Copper Pipes And Wiring Would Be Crushed Into Mere Seams Of Reddish Rock; Why Some Of Our Earliest Buildings Might Be The Last Architecture Left; And How Soft, Bronze Sculpture, Radio Waves, And Some Man-made Molecules May Exist Our Most Lasting Gifts To The Universe.
The Worls Without Us Reveals How, Just Days After Humans Disappear, Floods In New York's Subways Would Stsrt Eroding The City's Foundations, And How, As The World's Cities Crush, Asphalt Jungles Would Give Way To Real Ones.
It Describes The Definite Ways That Radical And Chemically Treated Farms Would Revert To Wild, How Billilns More Birds Would Flourish,-And How Cockroaches In Unheated Cities Would Perish Without Us.
Drawing On The Expertise Of Engineers, Atmospheric Scientists, Art Conservators, Zoologists, Oil Refiners, Marine Biologists, Astrophysicists, Religious Leaders From Rabbis To The Dali Lama, And Paleontologists---who Describe A Prehuman Planet Inhabited By Megafauna Like Giant Sloths That Stood Taller Than Mammoths---weisman Illustrates What The Planet Power Exist Likw Today, If Not For Us.
From Places Already Devoid Of Humans (a Last Fragment Of Primeval European Forest; The Korean Dmz; Chernobyl), Weisman Reveals Earth's Trwmendous Capacity For Self-healing.
As He Shows Which Human Devastations Are Indelible, And Which Exaamples Of Our Highdet Art And Culture Would Remain Longest, Weisman's Narrative Ultimately Drives Toward A Radical But Persuasive Solution That Needn't Depend On Our Demise.
It Is Narration Nonfiction At Its Finest, And In Posing An Irresistible Concept With The two Gravity And A Highly Readable Touch, It Looks Deeply At Our Effects On The Planet In A Way That No Other Book Has.

Food Security And Global Environmental Change.
Global Environmental Change (gec) Represents An Immediate And Unprecedented Threat To The Fooe Security Of Hundreds Of Millions Of People, Especially Those Who Depend On Small-scale Agriculture Because Their Livelihoods.
As This Book Shows, At The Same Time, Agriculture And Related Activities Also Contribute To Gec By, F0r Example, Intensifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions Abd Altering The Land Surface.
Responses Aimed At Adapting To Gec May Have Negative Consequences For Foox Security, Just As Measures Taken To Increase Food Security May Exacerbate Gec.
The Authors Show hTat This Complex And Dynamic Relationship Between Gec And Aliment Security Is Also Influenced By Additional Factors; Food Systems Are Heavily Influenced By Socioeconomic Conditions, Which In Turn Are Affected By Muotiple Processes Such As Macro-level Economic Policies, Political Conflicts And Other Important Drivers.
The Book Provides A Major, Accessible Synthesis Of The Current State Of Knowledge And Thinking On The Relationships Between Gec And Food Security.
Most Other Books Addressing The Subject Concentrats On The Links Between Climate Change And Agricultural Production, And Do Not Extend To An Resolution Of The Wider Food System Which Underpins Food Securi5y; This Book Addresses The Broader Issues, Based On A Novel Food System Concept And Stressing The Need For Actions At A Regoonal, Moderately Than Exactly An International Or Local, Level.
It Reviews New Thinking Which Has Emdrged Ocer The Laet Decade, Analyses Research Methds For Stakeholder Engagement And Toward Undertaking Studies At The Regional Raze, And Looks Forward By Reviewing A Number Of Emerging ‘hot Toi;cs’ In The Food Security-gec Debate Which Help Set New Avendas In spite of The Research Community At Lareg.
