The Sixth Extinction pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions of life on earth. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Elizabeth Kolbert combines brilliant field reporting, the history of ideas and the work of geologists, botanists and marine biologists to tell the gripping stories of a dozen species - including the Panamanian golden frog and the Sumatran rhino - some already gone, others at the point of vanishing. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy and Elizabeth Kolbert's book urgently compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
Elizabeth Kolbert was a New York Times reporter for fourteen years until she became a staff writer at the New Yorker in 1999. She is the author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe: A Frontline Report on Climate Change. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and children. @ElizKolbert

評分关于物种灭绝和环境保护的书籍和影视比比皆是,但«大灭绝时代»无疑是其中最佳的作品之一。它集科学性、趣味性、警示性于一体,不仅仅关注于浅显的环境保护理念,而是从物种灭绝概念的起源出发,以作者亲身经历的访问为导向,涉及全球变暖、海洋酸化、物种入侵、过度捕杀...
