Realizing the link between her own estrangement from nature and the cultural shifts that led to a dramatic rise in extinctions award winning writer Melanie Challenger travels in search of the stories behind these losses. From an exploration of an abandoned mine in England to an Antarctic sea voyage to South Georgia's old whaling stations from a sojourn in South America to a stay among an Inuit community in Canada she uncovers species cultures and industries touched by extinction. Accompanying her on this journey are the thoughts of anthropologists biologists and philosophers who have come before her. Drawing on their words as well as firsthand witness and ancestral memory Challenger traces the mindset that led to our destructiveness and proposes a path of redemption rooted in our emotional responses. This sobering yet illuminating book looks beyond natural devastation to examine why and what's next.
