Summary:
If aliens came to Earth 100 million years in the future, what traces would they find of long-extinct humanity's brief reign on the planet? This thought-provoking book looks at what our species will leave behind, buried deep in the rock strata, and provides us with a warning of our devastating environmental impact.
