The Last of Its Kind - Gisli Palsson - 2024 The Search for the Great Auk and the Discovery of Extinction By: Gisli Palsson Narrated by: Paul Woodson Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 07-09-24 Categories: Science & Engineering, Natural History, Endangered Species Language: English Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books Format: mp3 64/48 mono Publisher's Summary: The great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gisli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists' Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson's own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction. ©2024 Gisli Palsson (P)2024 HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books 24/7 Seedbox Support
