Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio: The world without us—with us! And an apt book for the awful year 2020—diverse survival tips from a war correspondent.

9:00 - 10:00 am
In Alan Weisman's 2007 bestseller, The World Without Us, the author imagines the response of the natural world if humans were to vanish in the twinkling of an eye. He describes a remarkably fast and robust comeback—and that mirrors the dolphins in Venice and clearing smog we saw in the early days of the pandemic. We'll talk to him about what we can learn about nature's resilience—and our own—from the pandemic.
Here's a recent article on his thinking that Weisman recommends: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/06/01/after-covid-19-will-nature-take-over

War reporter Judith Matloff has put together an all-purpose guide to surviving worst case scenarios, How to Drag a Body and Other Safety Tips You Hope to Never Need: Survival Tricks for Hacking, Hurricanes, and Hazards Life Might Throw at You. Maybe she'll have some pandemic advice?
