Description

David Quammen's book, The Song of the Dodo, is just a brilliant, stirring work, breathtaking in its scope, far reaching in its message -- an important book in precarious times, which radically alters just how in which we understand the natural world and our devote that world. It is also a book saturated in amusement and miracles. In The Song of the Dodo, we follow Quammenis eager intelligence through the concepts, ideas, and tests of outstanding naturalists of the final two generations. We walk after him as he travels the planet, monitoring the topic of island biogeography, which includes nothing significantly less than the research of the foundation and termination of species.
