    I'm very pleased to see the wonderful "World Without Us" on your list of the years 10 best. I devoured it in one sitting and found the idea of a world free of humans to be both intriguing and frightening. We are capable of so much wonder and such imaginiative thinking and yet we do so many stupid things. Despite our visions of grandeur, it's clear that the world would little miss us nor long mourn us. Perhaps we can find some way to change that in the decades ahead.
