Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines, descriptions of the fascinating species that have already been lost, and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes. She shows that the sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45643691819282,"sku":"","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/TheSixthExtinction.jpg?v=1689165438"},{"product_id":"under-a-white-sky","title":"Under a White Sky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sixth Extinction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereturns to humanity’s transformative impact on the environment, now  asking: After doing so much damage, can we change nature, this time to save it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRECOMMENDED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND BILL GATES •\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e• ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime, Esquire, Smithsonian Magazine, Vulture, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e• “Beautifully and insistently, Kolbert shows us that it is time to think radically about the ways we manage the environment.”—Helen Macdonald,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat man should have dominion “over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” is a prophecy that has hardened into fact.
