What would the earth look like if humans suddenly disappeared? An audacious new book imagines a people-free planet, and restores our sense of awe.
  • Man Vs. Nature

    Why oh why did those mean Aliens or God place this unatural mechanism called man upon this earth to destroy all that was once pure and perfect.

    This book like most environmental diatribes places man outside of nature, as if we were not mearly the logical outcrop of Darwinian evolution, and our actions not practical for the survival of our species in a hostile world?

    Here's the funny part, if man were whiped from the earth tomorrow, the next ape will rise to the occasion and fill the nitch left by our rapid departure.

    The garden without man is a jungle, and the strongest and smartest survive. They do not care whom they eat, only that their children live to eat another day.

    Chimps already hunt and make war, if we were not there to keep them in their place how long before they start to farm and dam?

    Man does not destroy nature, man is nature.
