Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
**A Library Journal Best Book of 2015 ****A Christian Science Monitor Top Ten Book of September**In a world dominated by people and rapid climate change, species large and small are increasingly vulnerable to extinction. In Resurrection Science, journalist M. R. O Connor explores the extreme measures scientists are taking to try and save them, from captive breeding and genetic management to deextinction. Paradoxically, the more we intervene to save species, the less wild they often become. In stories of sixteenthcentury galleon excavations, panthertracking in Florida swamps, ancient African rainforests, Neanderthal toolmaking, and cryogenic DNA banks, O Connor investigates the philosophical questions of an age in which we play god with earth s biodiversity.Each chapter in this beautifully written book focuses on a unique speciesfrom the charismatic northern white rhinoceros to the infamous passenger pigeonand the people entwined in the animals fates. Incorporating natural history and evolutionary biology with conversations with eminent ethicists, O Connor s narrative goes to the heart of the human enterprise: What should we preserve of wilderness as we hurtle toward a future in which technology is present in nearly every aspect of our lives? How can we coexist with species when our existence and their survival appear to be pitted against one another?
