El mundo sin nosotros

This book rigorously answers this fascinating question and explains how our enormous infrastructures would collapse; how long would it take the main cities to reforest and the African plains to recover the splendor of their fauna; why some of the oldest buildings could be the last to disappear and which of our objects would be immortalized as fossils. Indestructible plastic particles, domestic cats that become successful predators, urban pests -such as rats or cockroaches- that become extinct, and bronze statues that survive for millennia are just some of the elements that the reader will find in this exciting journey through a world as familiar as it is strange.
