Chronicle In Favor Of 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.

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

This was a fantastic book on several levels. First, the layout and design is stunning. Earth reminded me of the DK Eyewitness books for kids. There are gorgeous photos and images that draw the reader in, and sometime during the ogling of the images the reader finds him/herself reading all the text.Second, the humor is spot-on. Even what might be considered crude humor has layers to it, and it seems that Stewart and The Daily Show never made a joke just for the sake of the joke. However, there

I wanted to like this book, since I do enjoy The Daily Show. However, the book just left me with a lukewarm feeling. It was not bad; it just was not that good. Sure, it had humorous moments here and there, and I think the premise of "a handbook for aliens visiting Earth" was pretty good. But a lot of the humor seems pushed, like trying a bit too hard. This is definitely a book to skip around and browse, not one to read cover to cover. Just find your favorite parts and enjoy, skip the rest.

I listened to the unabridged MP3 audiobook version of this title (read by Jon Stewart and others, Hachette Audio, 2010).The expansion of scope from Stewarts earlier book, "America," to "Earth" in this book, may suggest that some future book of his will be titled "Galaxy" and then, perhaps, "Universe"! As expected, there is a great deal of smart writing in the book, but theres also filler material to expand the main ideas (barely) into a book-length presentation. The books premise is that humans,

38th book read in 2017.Number 468 out of 603 on my all time book list.

Jon Stewart, the primary editor of this book, is an American comedian, writer, director, producer, actor, and political commentator. He was host of 'The Daily Show' from 1999 to 2015.Jon StewartI listened to the audiobook version of this narrative, which is a tongue-in-cheek guide for aliens that visit the Earth after humans are extinct.The book is written by Jon Stewart, Rory Albanese, Kevin Bleyer, Rich Bloomquist, Steve Bodow, Tim Carvell, Wyatt Cenac, and Hallie Haglund. The audio version is

Moderately funny, mostly a disappointment. Tongue-in-cheek? Yes. Very Original? No. Most jokes were cliches and the aliens would have slept off on reading this drab work and gotten all the wrong impressions about the literary talents of this planet.

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!
