The Rarest of the Rare: Vanishing Animals, Timeless Worlds

With the insatiable curiosity she brought to her bestselling A Natural History of the Senses, intrepid naturalist/poet Diane Ackerman journeys from the Amazon rain forests to a forbidding Japanese island in search of endangered creatures and their habitats. What ensues is both a rapturous celebration of other species and a warning to our own. "Startling and humbling".--The New York Times Book Review.
