In June 2019, he dedicated thirty of those verses to two extraordinarily compelling and distressing photographs of animals in extremis taken by Canadian photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur. Now expanded to include more verses and more of McArthur's stunning images, \u003ci\u003eThe Animals Are Leaving Us\u003c\/i\u003e forms a testament to the particular moments in the lives and deaths of individual creatures, and a requiem for the many billions of animals who are subject to the cruel whims of our species, and who are vanishing from the wild places of the Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lantern Publishing \u0026amp; Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590566459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32","brand":"Martin Rowe, McArthur Jo-Anne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39714295546037,"sku":"9781590566459","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5cc76c88-239a-4668-9c5c-65a51f11615d.jpg?v=1618288616","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-animals-are-leaving-us-9781590566459","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
