The vast majority of books aren't out on tape or in Braille. At least not the stuff *I* read.... grumble

Best science book of last year: "A World Without Us" by Alan Weisman. Might even be the best science book this century.

Premise of Weisman's book is: what would happen to Earth if humans just *poof* disappeared? What would happen to buildings, roads? Would wildlife take over?

Better question: if humans disappear, would we re-appear in 4 million years, give or take a mil?

No.... I think I've heard of it.

The Weisman book poses so many possibilities. It's one of those books you want to read and then think about. Are we a reincarnation of a civilization that disappeared millions of years ago? It would explain Von Daaniken's supposed "Chariots of the Gods"....

I would rather be deaf, I don't listen half the time anyways and I'm fluent in sign language, my son is hearing impaired in one ear...
