Description
Elizabeth Kolbert's Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the sixth mass extinction that human civilization is currently causing—tracing through specific species, specific habitats, and specific scientists the full scope of what is being irreversibly lost—is one of the most important and most rigorously honest works of environmental journalism produced in the twenty-first century. Written with the narrative clarity and the genuine scientific authority that make genuinely complex ecological information feel urgent and comprehensible, this is essential reading for every person who wants to understand the crisis rather than merely worry about it. A landmark work.
