    The highly touted World Without Us.

    Is more of a magazine article than a book. Oh it's entertaining. Especially when you realize that every single TV and radio interview including the many many interviews on NPR never got past page 25. But the best nonfiction of 2007?

    C'mon you can read the whole book in 2 hrs.
