I recently read The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found it very thought provoking.
Humanity's environmental impact is an important theme of the book. The author does a good job of restoring our sense of awe about the Earth. Mankind's footprint has been heavy but the earth is very resilient if we just learn to tread lightly.
The last sentence in the book sums it up pretty well.
"Without us, Earth will abide and endure; without her, however, we could not even be."
