Using the history of the concept of extinction with the dodo as a
case study, Pinto-Correia carefully weaves together story fragments
to give a cohesive eye-opening view of 17th century exploration and
the grave ramifications it had for the survival and extinction of
many species. More importantly, she shows us the intellectual
underpinnings of the old view that it was acceptable for some
animals to die out. Within this narrative, we can see what the
modern view of the dodo tells us about the history of our changing
understanding and valuation of nature and our place in it. Strong
writing, powered by lively historical anecdotes and sober insights
into human behavior, makes this beautifully illustrated book a
page-turner to the end.
