Earth (the book)

Earth (the book): A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race
By Jon Stewart
Grand Central Publishing, 2010. 244 pgs. Nonfiction.

When we humans have finally destroyed ourselves and alien beings have found their way to our abandoned planet, this book will be waiting for them as a primer to the extinct human race. Our planet’s visitors will find an attractively illustrated guide to our cultures, religions, governments and life cycles written in a way only the staff of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart would dare.

This book is formatted much like a DK guide and is filled with interesting, if not factual, bits of information. Readers should expect to be entertained and offended, probably in equal parts as they peruse this irreverent and snarky description of life on our planet.
