No Turning Back
by Richard EllisConservationist Richard Ellis's fascinating examination of extinction, "one of the most powerful forces on earth, and one of the most enigmatic" In No Turning Back, naturalist Richard Ellis conducts a masterful and engrossing investigation of one of the world's most harrowing inevitabilities: extinction. Taking a concentrated look at a variety of species--from those that went out with a bang upon the impact of an Everest-sized asteroid to those that gradually disappeared after years of human overhunting--Ellis discusses the five great mass extinctions in history, and how extinction shapes the evolutionary process. He also outlines the steps we can take to ensure that today's endangered species can be pulled back from the brink. Richly illustrated with Ellis's stunning, hand-drawn artwork, No Turning Back is an invaluable read for anyone seeking to understand the past, present, and future of life on our planet.
No Way Home: The Decline of the World's Great Animal Migrations
by David S. WilcoveAnimal migration is a magnificent sight: a mile-long blanket of cranes rising from a Nebraska river and filling the sky; hundreds of thousands of wildebeests marching across the Serengeti; a blaze of orange as millions of monarch butterflies spread their wings to take flight. Nature's great migrations have captivated countless spectators, none more so than premier ecologist David S. Wilcove. In No Way Home, his awe is palpable--as are the growing threats to migratory animals. We may be witnessing a dying phenomenon among many species. Migration has always been arduous, but today's travelers face unprecedented dangers. Skyscrapers and cell towers lure birds and bats to untimely deaths, fences and farms block herds of antelope, salmon are caught en route between ocean and river, breeding and wintering grounds are paved over or plowed, and global warming disrupts the synchronized schedules of predators and prey. The result is a dramatic decline in the number of migrants. Wilcove guides us on their treacherous journeys, describing the barriers to migration and exploring what compels animals to keep on trekking. He also brings to life the adventures of scientists who study migrants. Often as bold as their subjects, researchers speed wildly along deserted roads to track birds soaring overhead, explore glaciers in search of frozen locusts, and outfit dragonflies with transmitters weighing less than one one-hundredth of an ounce. Scientific discoveries and advanced technologies are helping us to understand migrations better, but alone, they won't stop sea turtles and songbirds from going the way of the bison or passenger pigeon. What's required is the commitment and cooperation of the far-flung countries migrants cross--long before extinction is a threat. As Wilcove writes, "protecting the abundance of migration is key to protecting the glory of migration." No Way Home offers powerful inspiration to preserve those glorious journeys.
