Bam cooks the books's Reviews > Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures

From Cara Reilly, editor at Doubleday, to readers: 'The greatest lie we humans tell ourselves is that the world is at our disposal, that it's ours for the taking.' As a result, in the past 50 years we have lost more than half of all wild things. As Katherine Rundell says, we are Noah's Ark in reverse. Her essays on 23 endangered animals are love letters to the magnificence and diversity of the natural world as well as a call to action. I highly recommend reading as well as giving as a gift this holiday season.

Many thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an arc of this book via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
