«Homo disparitus» is the essay by Alan Weisman, published by Flammarion in paperback (400 pages, in French).
It starts from a hypothetical premise: the sudden disappearance of all humanity. Based on interviews with experts and visits to various places, the author imagines how nature would reclaim cities, how long it would take for infrastructure and nuclear plants to degrade, and which animals and plants would gain or lose ground.
The essay was nominated for the Orion Book Award in 2008 and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2007.
Recommended for readers interested in ecology, science popularization, and realistic scenarios about human impact on the planet.
Alan H. Weisman is an American author, professor and journalist.
