Series Statement:
Critical perspectives on animals
Content:
This volume looks at the cultural and ethical significance of modern-day extinctions and asks us to assess our accountability toward other species in a rapidly changing world. It incorporates the particularities of real animals and their worlds, drawing philosophers, natural scientists and general readers into the experience of the loss of biodiversity. Each chapter focuses on a different species or group of birds, and takes stock of what is lost when a life form disappears from the world, describing the wide-ranging ramifications that implicate a number of human and more-than-human others.
