Elizabeth Kolbert was a New York Times reporter for fourteen years until she became a staff writer at the New Yorker in 1999. She is the author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe: A Frontline Report on Climate Change. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and children. @ElizKolbert
Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions of life on earth. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Elizabeth Kolbert combines brilliant field reporting, the history of ideas and the work of geologists, botanists and marine biologists to tell the gripping stories of a dozen species - including the Panamanian golden frog and the Sumatran rhino - some already gone, others at the point of vanishing. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy and Elizabeth Kolbert's book urgently compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

評分作為書的譯者,給自己的書寫書評是件多多少少有些奇怪的事情。本以為無話可說,但等到落筆時纔發現,想說的很多。一本書的譯者大概也是最仔細的一位讀者,一個詞也不曾放過。然而越是讀得仔細,越是有無數的想法,卻受睏於譯者的身份,無處傾吐。藉書評之機,隨便說說吧。 (...
