| Resource Description
|
| THE SONG OF THE DODO, Island Biogeography in an Age of Extinction. Quammen. Examines the mysteries of evolution and extinction as illuminated by the study of islands. The isolation of islands makes them natural laboratories of evolutionary extravagance, as seen in the dragons of Komodo, the elephant birds of Madagascar, and the giant tortoises of the Galapagos. The downside is that islands are also hotbeds of extinction. As the world’s landscapes are increasingly carved into island-like fragments by human activity, understanding island ecology becomes more important than ever. Author takes you on a globe-circling tour of wild places and extraordinary ideas. #B-8276.
