Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Riku on October 02, 2011

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.......more

Goodreads review by Freda on November 01, 2010

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. T......more

Goodreads review by Miranda on December 10, 2020

Almost parallel to Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything (though favoring quite a bit of the facts for humorous moments) - this novel was thoroughly enjoyable!
