Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I love this book! it is beautiful the pictures are great, though it is a bit dated, it is still a great read on endangered species both the well know and the little known.

Great representations of extinct animals

A little dated now, but still this volume is a worthy addition to any collection of extinct or endangered literature. Key highlights are the magnificent watercolours (some full page) of birds and animals eg; Dodo, Passenger Pigeon, Pink headed and Labrador Ducks. Good reference text also on some less frequently documented extinctions eg; several wolf species, Eskimo Curlew and various plants and fish.
