Narration Supposing Books Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race

The eagerly awaited new book from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart--the man behind the megaseller America (The Book). Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture -- all in a tome of approximately 256 pages with lots of color photos, graphs and charts. After two weeks of hard work, they had their book. EARTH (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species. With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. Also available as an ebook and as an audiobook.

Comment On Regarding Books Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race

The premise is that this book is written for aliens who might come to earth and act as archaeologists, exploring earth and whats left of its previous inhabitants, previous because homo sapiens no longer exist. Funny stuff. Pokes fun at everyone and everything.Laughing, smiling, groaning, averting eyes, glued to the page, parody and satire that is crass at times and almost always brilliant.Periodic Table of the Synthetic and way too much else to share. If you enjoy black, dark, out there, and



***3 Stars*** ***Listened to the Audiobook*** This had its funny moments (especially the FAQ's - Future Alien Questions) and Jon Stewart's dry and snarky delivery is spot on, but all of that was overshadowed by the awkward way this book was put together. It's just a bunch of short chapters briefly discussing various topics. There's no particular order things are presented and I felt like we were just bouncing along from topic to topic without any sense of direction.

Well this was short! But a really great listen with Jason and Samantha and John and Wyatt joining Jon for this romp. Man I miss this bunch!

This was a very entertaining book. It was published 9 years ago and somehow a lot of the material is still stupid relevant. Some jokes didn't quite land and in fact made me cringe a bit, but eh, that's comedy. I did appreciate the refresher on stuff I learned in school though.

Carol and I are such fans of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show that we each bought a copy of this book as a gift for the other -- one audiotape, one text. That alone should justify 4 stars. But the true justification for the fourth star was the joy to see Carol enjoy the coffee-table version -- from giggles to "wine out the nose" guffaws.Unlike most books on tape, reading "Earth" and listening to Jon Stewart and the other Daily Show cast members are two distinct experiences and pleasures. Now, I'm

Hilarious silliness from Jon Stewart! Aliens, if you come to Earth & find us all gone, you can use this book to find out Everything You Need to Know About Humanity but Were Too Busy Picking Up Our Mess To Ask. That is the premise of the book. I read the Actual Book (I know - call me a Luddite, whatever, yawn). It's arranged like a textbook, with plenty of pictures, & categories for easy reference such as Clothing, Villages, Trade, Investing ("The skilled investor had to balance the
