The world without us

The world without us by Alan Weisman

This is a reasonably interesting book where AW looks into the question of what would happen to the world if humans were to disappear overnight, which leads him to all sorts of fascinating topics about what can happen in the future, what has happened in the past, what is irreversible and what isn't. All the info is interesting, but nothing earthshaking, but overall, it does manage to create a grim atmosphere of the future facing this planet much more than isolated reports of arctic melting and retreating glaciers ever can.
In the end, he suggests a solution - reduce human populations gradually by limiting all females to a single child - but doesn't go into it in any detail at all. This is not a bad idea at all, compared to population reduction from wars/starvation, but I really would have expected some more discussion of this. China is already doing this, so expanding this to a global scale is not as unthinkable as one might imagine at first.
