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-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 prose that is at once frank, entertaining, and deeply informed, New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before. Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines, descriptions of the fascinating species that have already been lost, and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes. She shows that the sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

终于读完惹！！！！！！头秃
评分将生物演化史和科学史交织在一起，表现人类对地球环境的改造，也描绘出人类追溯气候与环境变迁、五大灭绝来龙去脉的努力。科尔伯特的写作特别在她对全球各地科研人员研究生物环境、气候变迁的过程与自身体验的叙述；字里行间一个竭尽智慧的物种正在利用文明的成果努力预测（如果无法逆转）自己的灭绝。

评分Essential reading
评分Frogs, auks, bats, rhinos, reefs, Neanderthals. Artisan is how I find aptest to describe the delicacy of nature hand. And yet, like tourists' cursory glance at exhibits, no quintessence of nature vitality has ever reached we sightseers' eye.
