On Extinction: How We Became Estranged from Nature

In this groundbreaking book, "On Extinction," award-winning author Melanie Challenger takes readers on a journey of discovery and reflection as she explores the complexities of extinction in our world today.

Through her travels from abandoned mines to remote islands and beyond, Challenger uncovers lost species and cultures, while also delving into the thoughts of anthropologists, biologists, and philosophers who have come before her.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep empathy for the natural world, Challenger traces the mindset that led to the 20th century's dramatic rise in extinction and proposes a path of redemption rooted in our emotional responses to these disappearances.

This book is an "erudite and impassioned examination" (Publishers Weekly) that will leave readers with a newfound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things and a renewed sense of urgency to protect them.
