I am almost finished 'The World Without Us' by Alan Weisman, and I have really enjoyed it.

This is the sort of book that makes you feel more intelligent. Hahaha.

It's a look at what the world will be like if we just suddenly disappeared; how long structures and cities will last, how the environment will repair itself, how flora and fauna will react... It's surprisingly in depth, and he spends a large amount of time looking into the past, human and beyond, to hypothesise about the future.

It covers a huge range of topics: war, agriculture, early human development, petro-chemicals, radiation, ice ages, the space race, genetics... and it has a chapter dedicated to birds flying into windows.

It's really well written, and I like it so much that I want everyone to read it.
