136 animal species have become extinct in the British Isles over
the past thousand years. This book describes many of these
extinctions, from familiar species such as the wolf and the iconic
extinction of the great auk, to the numerous insects that have
vanished from the islands. Whilst some losses are unsurprising
others are strange stories of enigmatic species such as the
Manchester moth, the Potters Bar beetle and the St. Kilda mouse.
Attempts have been made to reintroduce some species and the
successes and failures are described. With increasing attention
being paid to preserving and restoring our natural environment
consideration is also given to the questions of which species could
be reintroduced in the future and whether this can ever play a
meaningful role in conservation.
An account of the evolution of turtles, tortoises and terrpains
from their origins 220 million years ago to the present day. This
covers most of the fossil species and all living species.
