![]() This book is about the current extinction event we are living through now. When I’ve described The Sixth Extinction to people, they assume I’m talking about science fiction. This genre is my catnip, and if I could trade lives with any author on the planet, well, it would probably be Michael Palin, actually, but Elizabeth Kolbert and Mary Roach are close seconds. It hits my sweet spot exactly between natural history, science, environmentalism, and travel writing (freaking Kolbert got to go to, off the top of my head, Australia, Germany, France, Peru, Panama, Iceland, Scotland, and Italy for this book, and I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting some). ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is equal parts heartbreaking, infuriating, fascinating, and beautiful. ![]()
