Book cover for Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death
We are all guilty of causing extinctions; our standard of living, our massive industrial production, and our sheer numbers absolutely guarantee that we have a cumulative toxic effect on nature.

“Moles are tiny, they are cute, and like the rest of nature they do not care what we feel. They are devastating, and they always win.”
Marc Hamer, How to Catch a Mole: Wisdom from a Life Lived in Nature

Bernd Heinrich
“You can’t argue with nature. It is the primary context for living and for everything alive.”
Bernd Heinrich, Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death

“The male frogs called, attracting mates to lay eggs and begin another generation. Their calls seemed to be protests, an act of defiance. Even as the walls of development squeezed the life out of Texas, that life called to its doomed future, reminding anyone who would listen that it was their home, too. I listened. With a heavy heart, I wondered how anyone could call such destruction progress.”
Sara Dykman, Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,201-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration

Gail Honeyman
“Animals, birds and insects can provide such useful insights. If I’m ever unsure as to the correct course of action, I’ll think, “What would a ferret do?” or, “How would a salamander respond to this situation?” Invariably, I find the right answer.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Patrick Radden Keefe
“As I make clear throughout the book, OxyContin was hardly the only opioid to be fraudulently marketed or widely abused, and my choice to focus on Purdue is in no way a suggestion that other pharmaceutical companies do not deserve a great deal of blame for the crisis. The same could be said for the FDA, the doctors who wrote prescriptions, the wholesalers that distributed the opioids, and the pharmacies that filled the prescriptions. There’s plenty of blame to go around. I do share the view, however, of many doctors, public officials, prosecutors, and scholars that Purdue played a special role, as a pioneer. All”
