The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

Author: Elizabeth Kolbert
Stars: 5
Review by: Marianne S.

Life on Earth is currently undergoing what may very well be the sixth major mass extinction. The author examines twelve animal and plant groups and species, tracing how human interference led to the eradication of these fauna and flora. Sobering, with a decent bibliography for follow-up.
