From the jacket: “Interweaving personal observation, scientific theory, and history, The Song of the Dodo examines the mysteries of evolution and extinction as they have been illuminated by the study of islands. The isolation of islands makes them natural laboratories of evolutionary extravagance, as seen in the dragons of Komodo, the elephant birds of Madagascar, the giant tortoises of the Galapagos and Aldabra. But the dark message of island studies is that isolated bits of ecosystem, whether natural or man-made, are also hotbeds of extinction. And as the world’s landscapes, from Tasmania to the Amazon rainforest to Yellowstone are being carved into islandlike fragments by human activity, the implications of this knowledge are more urgent than ever.” Song of the Dodo is the celebrated title that brought Quammen to the forefront of popular science writing. 702 pages.
