The same author who produced After Man is the co author of this book. It suggests that we are still in the middle of the ice age but in an interglacial period and that one day, the cold will return with a vengeance until there will be true global warming in 5 million years time - due to increased volcanic activity. Although this book is interesting, I find After Man more absorbing, maybe because it suggests a more familiar world in future where mammals and birds still dominate the scene in 50 million years time. The Future is Wild suggests scenarios where birds and the last mammals become extinct in 100 million years time and the fish leaving the water to take flight beyond that. The book is an alternative suggestion how the world might turn out if humans became extinct or left the planet altogether. Maybe if future mankind is to colonise other worlds, the Earth could be turned into a protected global park very much like what Antarctica is today.
