A fine book, from back in the days when science fiction was thought-provoking; not just an excuse for putting modern man in weir situations.

It will take some time until nature repairs this. Surely only after humans are not around

@Steve

If you liked The Martian Chronicles?
I suggest you read
'Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life'
Ray credited that as an influence along with 'The Grapes of Wrath'.

Myself? I prefer Slaughterhouse-Five

Well, we went to Edisto Island in South Carolina for a very fun camping trip and the Park Rangers wouldn't let you light fires because of the turtles and how they use the moonlight to guide themselves to the water. They can mistake the fires for the light and head to them.

That was a very fun camping trip.
