A cacophony of unusual animals that have almost been erased from the planet. Some you know (and love) but plenty will be new to you. It is a celebration of the wonders of nature as well as a scorecard on the ways that humans are screwing it up. Told in a conversation style that is entertaining and educational, this is the type of book you can easily digest one critter at a time and then rush to share your knowledge at the staff meeting, dinner table or coffee shop line. For animal lovers, concerned humans and fans of Mary Roach and Bill Bryson. My thanks to the publisher for the advance copy.

A wonderfully descriptive heart-felt look at these beautiful animals who face extinction. It's a plea to be aware of nature's treasures and the fragility of life itself.
