A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes

Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

对于这本书的首要感受，就是这个书名和封面让人完全提不起兴趣看……但是读了之后真的手不释卷啊。作为一本科普书，这本写的可谓出彩，获得普利策奖当之无愧。首先作者的文笔真的很优美，无论是描述自然环境，写历史，还是各种反思，都有一种美感。而且虽然从内容来看，作者...

伊丽莎白·科尔伯特的普利策奖获奖作品《大灭绝时代》，英文原名是“The Six Extinction”（第六次大灭绝）。这本书和气候变化及环境危机有关，但不是一本专门讲环保的书。它实际上就讲解了这么两件事：随着地质学和古生物学等学科的发展，人类逐渐认识到地球历史上曾经发生过...

不管是絕望的還是留有希望的那些故事，其實內容大部分都知道。況且當前很多現實更加可怕。作為科普，絕對推薦。想起作者去年來學校演講，說到在Anthropocene，all options are bad，what differs is how worse.

文筆很好，在介紹科學理論時簡化得恰當好處，能讓讀者看懂又保留瞭一定的深度。通常對這類主題並沒有什麼興趣，不過想到文字背後的作者如何為瞭這本書的寫作而跑遍世界各地和學者們一起穿雨林鑽山洞，還感覺挺奇妙的。

最近覺得豆瓣好無聊，忙著看這本書，超好看。

主題很吸引人，但講起來很那做到平易近人，因為牽涉到太多專業背景知識。作者就像講故事一樣娓娓道來，讀起來讓人欲罷不能。非常好的一本科普讀物。對於大滅絕，人總是站在統治者的位置上覺得這不能發生在自己身上，可是就像《三體》裏說的，“死亡纔是永恒的”。這個過程也許就是不可避免的，正所謂天道輪迴。你都說不清如今這個狀態究竟是這個必然過程中的一種錶現方式還是人的自掘墳墓。

I don't like the choice of words in this book yet this book is recommend by Bill Gates and takes approximately three hours to read. So why not?
