About The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert:

Our planet has endured five events of mass extinction, from centuries of catastrophic heating and cooling to the asteroid that fell to earth and ended the Cretaceous Period. We are currently facing the sixth extinction, and this time the human species is to blame.

Elizabeth Kolbert travels the world and meets with scientists who are grappling with the ecological outcomes of human activity. Her Pulitzer Prize-winning modern science classic tells the stories of thirteen different species that have already disappeared or are on the brink of extinction as a result of human activity.

A captivating blend of research and historical anecdotes enlightens readers about the unintentional consequences of our behaviors, from climate change and global warming to invasive species and overexploitation.

The summary and analysis in this book are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
