Representaion Toward 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.

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

A while back Jon Stewart and the other writers from the popular The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wrote a parody of high school Social Studies textbooks called America (The Book): A Guide to Democracy Inaction. That was a great piece of satire because it lambasted something most Americans were familiar with and it had a structurally solid skeleton on which to drape its parody. We all knew what he was talking about, or at least we knew we should know, which was often kind of the point. It had a

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

3.5I'm still trying to learn to like audio books, and this seemed like a good practice given my not-so-secret crush on Jon Stewart. Joining him in the reading here are Sigourney Weaver, Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cynac, and Jon Oliver. The premise is that humans have finally made ourselves extinct, but have left this record for the investigating aliens to discover and learn what humans were and how we managed to screw up everything. Obviously it is satire, although Stewart, as he often



"Gingerbread deathcamps." For some reason, this phrase makes me laugh.It's not every day I can say to my husband, "Hey, wanna see a nude photo of Larry King?" This book made that possible. Yes, I know it's a faked photo. But Larry should thank this book's authors . . . and Photoshop.Also, I loved that the list of iPhone apps included not only a compass (caption: "Which direction am I facing?") but also a moral compass (caption: "Why did I steal this iPhone?").

***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!
