　　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 238

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

posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions,

completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or

even accuracy.

　　Starred Review. Eight-time Emmy-winner Stewart (America: The

Book) seeks to expand his audience to aliens who might land on

earth after the extinction of the human race and be puzzled over

the artifacts we've left behind. "Greetings... on behalf of not

only ourselves, but the entire Viacom family," he writes in this

laugh-out-loud, rollicking social satire. In place of skits there

are elaborate, color illustrations accompanied by captions written

with his trademark deadpan humor; for instance, a photo of a mother

and baby-elephant holds the caption, "advances in contraception and

industrialized food production allowed modern couples to have fewer

offspring, while leaving the total weight of families constant."

Nothing is off-limits here, not even Benjamin Franklin, whose pithy

saying "Nothing is certain but death and taxes" Stewart expands

upon. The book ends with a plea to the aliens to reconstruct the

human race from DNA in the hope that, with guidance from the

visitors, "we could overcome the baser aspects of our nature... and

give this planet the kind of caretakers it deserves," revealing the

tears behind Stewart's clown. Photos.
