The Sixth Extinction pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 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

评分 评分 评分开卷之前,我已经做好了沉重的心理准备,然而当真像映入眼帘时,还是被深深地刺痛了。掩卷之时,对我们还活在这个古老的时空中,心存感激。 很多人觉得,大灭绝离我们很远很远,远到根本无需去担心。他们总会说大灭绝是杞人忧天,却从来不摆实例证明自己的观点。没有数据与事实...
