The Ghost with Trembling Wings: Science, Wishful Thinking and the Search for Lost Species
Scott Weidensaul
?A thoughtful examination of the machinery of extinction . . . By turns harrowing and elegiac, thrilling and informative.? ?Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Three or four times an hour, eighty or more times a day, a unique species of plant or animal vanishes forever. And yet, every so often one of these lost species resurfaces. ?Having adventures most of us can only dream about? (The Times-Picayune), Scott Weidensaul pursues stories of loss and recovery, of endurance against the odds, and of surprising resurrections.
