About this book
Elizabeth Kolbert examines species loss by combining field reporting with the history of scientific ideas about extinction. Visits with researchers studying oceans, forests and threatened animals connect present changes with earlier mass extinctions. Accounts of individual species, including coral and the great auk, frame an investigation of how human activity is reshaping the conditions for life across the planet.
