An authoritative study of extinction in birds, with case studies of 20 critically endangered species and the research initiatives designed to save them.
I picked up this book off the library shelf intending to read only about one or two species whose pictures had intrigued me. Instead, I found myself enjoying the book so much that I read the entire book. I learned quite a bit about interesting birds, and was encouraged to hear about the efforts underway to keep them from going extinct. A good read, indeed.
