The first book devoted solely to extinct birds since Walter Rothschild’s classic Extinct Birds (1907), this new and attractive work has an enthusiastic preface by Rothschild’s niece, Miriam, a famous naturalist in her own right. Its scope is wisely limited to the 75 birds known to have become extinct since 1600. Highly illustrated, with 59 color and 81 black-and-white illustrations, it boasts a detailed but interesting and well-written text, plus good referencing. Endangered species are included. With many island birds now threatened, and the extinction rates of all life forms escalating out of control in tropical forests, artist-naturalist Fuller’s fine book is most welcome and germane.
