Imagine Earth without people
By Bob Holmes
Humans are undoubtedly the most dominant species the Earth has ever known. In just a few thousand years we have swallowed up more than a third of the planet's land for our cities, farmland and pastures. By some estimates, we now commandeer 40 per cent of all its productivity. And we're leaving quite a mess behind: ploughed-up prairies, razed forests, drained aquifers, nuclear waste, chemical pollution, invasive species, mass extinctions and now the looming spectre of climate change. If they could, the other species we share Earth with would surely vote us off the planet.

Hey, I read an article of yours on Lahore Nama about books/bookshops in Lahore.
I'm desperate for a copy of Kate Grenville's "Lilian's Story". Do you know where I might find it?
Thank you, and I do hope you take up blogging again. Abandoned blogs seem so lonely. :)
I know what you mean. But blogging can help in getting away from the complications of life too. A small paragraph or so to vent, nothing "serious"--try it, I'm sure you'll find yourself blogging again in no time.
No, unfortunately I did not. Now I've got to take a trip to Bible Society. I hope it's there!
No luck?
