Synopsis:
The eagerly awaited new book from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart--the man behind the mega-seller 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.

My Opinion:
As soon as I hear about this book while watching Oprah, I knew it had to be funny and well worth a read. I was right!
From the beginning, you get a sense of Jon Stewart's humor. You see, this book is geared to aliens. So you have to imagine that they really exist and need a brochure while visiting. This would be that brochure!
Brilliant!
That is my lasting impression, besides hilarious, witty, fun and sometimes true.
Definitely one I recommend to all adults.
