The Ghost with Trembling Wings: Science, Wishful Thinking and the Search for Lost Species de Scott Weidensaul

The Ghost with Trembling Wings: Science, Wishful Thinking and the Search for Lost Species

Autor Scott Weidensaul
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2003

"A thoughtful examination of the machinery of extinction . . . By turns harrowing and elegiac, thrilling and informative." Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"

Three or four times an hour, eighty or more times a day, a unique species of plant or animal vanishes forever. And yet, every so often one of these lost species resurfaces. "Having adventures most of us can only dream about" ("The Times-Picayune"), Scott Weidensaul pursues stories of loss and recovery, of endurance against the odds, and of surprising resurrections."

Recenzii

"Part natural history, part adventure story (starring Mr. Weidensaul as a kind of ecological-minded Indiana Jones, roaming the world in search of missing species)." --Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times""At the core of Weidensaul's book are fundamental questions about who we are, the state of our planet, and the faltering health of our ecosystems . . . [It] is as much about people as the animals they search for." --Anthony Doerr, "The Boston Globe""Scott Weidensaul ranks among an elite group of writer-naturalists--Bruce Chatwin, John McPhee and David Quammen come to mind--whose straightforward eloquence elevates ecology to the level of philosophy." --Janice P. Nimura, "Los Angeles Times"
