Alan Weisman
2007-2008
A MUST READ


The simple but irresistible premise of Alan Weisman's The World Without Us - what would happen to the planet if human beings simply disappeared - lit up imaginations even as it ignited controversy around the world.

Weisman's "thought experiment" examines what would happen in both the immediate and distant future to the land, the animals, the oceans, our cities, our art, and all manner of things we take for granted if we were no longer here. Would the seas again teem with fish? Would our concrete jungles crumble to make way for natural ones? How long, if ever, would it take for our collective footprint to fade away?

Available in hard cover, paperback and CD

Beautiful and passionate!

I decided after đọc The Vampire Game: Discovery the first time, that I would re-read it once more. My reasoning? I simply enjoyed the book so much that I wanted to slow down a bit and savor the experience.

I'm told that Les Bailey is a first time tác giả and that his new Kindle release is his first foray into the world of fiction. Well, I'm not so sure that I believe that.

Here is a piece about the book:

And just as she and her uncle are about to unveil Austin's red-hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform the new hire, Henry Johnson, into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Will he be able to to wow the crowd in fake fangs, a cheap cape, and red contact lenses? hoặc is there thêm to his earnest fresh face than meets the eye?

As human and preternatural forces clash a deadly tình yêu tam giác forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything?
