The Dodo, the Auk and the Oryx, Vanished and Vanishing Creatures - Robert Silverberg

The world is a treasure house full of an astonishing variety of birds and animals: beautyful, grotesque, graceful, comic or bizarre. Yet over the last few centuries many spieces have been thoughtlessly exterminated by man, and are now lost for ever. But our sense of responsibility has grown, we have managed to snatch back some spieces from the brink of extintion, and there arre others which are on the borderline today. This book tells the story of some of these victims of progress.
