The intimate approach not only highlights each particular species but also explores the broader implications of losing a species forever. How do we honor such a loss? Can we grieve for species we never knew? These animals range from the well-known passenger pigeon, thylacine, and great auk, to lesser-known creatures like the Arabian ostrich, Saint Helena earwig, and Bramble Cay melomys. Through her poignant portraits, Barbara Allen not only tugs on the heartstrings but also aims to inspire readers to protect vulnerable and endangered species today, motivating us to play a positive role in conserving our planet's biodiversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2025 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2025 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Barbara Allen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280958226613,"sku":"9781836390459","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_14227e2f-cc77-4778-9af7-c5d792e566b1.jpg?v=1751469994","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lost-animals-disappearing-worlds-stories-of-extinction-9781836390459","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
