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

评分 评分伊丽莎白·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...
