This is a good book for anyone interested in the aspects of environmental science related more to the preservation of animals. It presented facts with an informative and optimistic tone, focusing on what can be done to help endangered species as opposed to what wasn't done. It is very easy to read, the style making it accessible those who aren't scholars.

In this novel, David Wilcove discusss the relationship of the development of america and wildlife. Each chapter is broken down into sections chronicaling each section of america. From the great plains of the midwest to the hawaiian islands, overdevelopment, overhunting and neglagence all have contributed to the loss of wildlife in america. The fauna of america were so mal protected for so long, ecologists of the last century have pushed for legisation to protect or furry friends. This book is a great read of any aspiring ecologist, The only issue i had with the book is that it put no importance on the value of Technological advances, such as roads, buildings, and pesticides. Overall this is a book that i would recomend to anyone who wanted to know more about the ecological movement in America- GHHS APES

The book is about the loss and recovery of wildlife. It talks about how many species have vanished because of human settlement and all the negative effects we have brought. It has an indepth analysis of several ares of the country such as Yellowstone National Park, oceans, rivers, lakes, beaches, and grasslands. The good thing about this book is that it informs and provides ways in which we are able to help recover wildlife. This book is very detailed. The author uses several examples for each area he explains. It is a very informative book, but it is not a book for the average reader.
