Beschreibung
Although everybody is familiar with the dodo bird, very few people know its history. Yet this history is compelling when read as a fable of the negative impact of humans on Earth's ecosystems. The author describes the complexity of the factors involved in animal extinction. Although we think of ourselves as more ecologically aware than our ancestors, we are propelling extinction to alarming rates.

Zusammenfassung
Best-selling author Clara Pinto-Correia (THE OVARY OF EVE) shows how the human intellect and the human imagination prey on sketchy facts and images, how missing pieces and incomplete lines are merged and fused to make a story, to make a coherent whole--even where there is no coherence.
