{"product_id":"9781408158623","title":"Extinct Birds","description":"This is the first comprehensive review of the hundreds of bird species\u003cbr\u003ethat have become extinct over the last 1,000 years of habitat\u003cbr\u003edegradation, over-hunting and rat introduction. Covering both familiar\u003cbr\u003eextinct birds and more obscure species, some known from just one\u003cbr\u003especimen or from traveller's tales, the book also looks at hundreds of\u003cbr\u003especies from the subfossil record - birds that disappeared without ever\u003cbr\u003ebeing recorded. Julian Hume and Michael Walters recreate these lost\u003cbr\u003ebirds in stunning detail, bringing together an up to date review of the\u003cbr\u003eliterature for every species. From Great Auks, Carolina Parakeets and\u003cbr\u003eDodos to the amazing yet completely vanished bird radiations of Hawaii\u003cbr\u003eand New Zealand, via rafts of extinctions in the Pacific and elsewhere,\u003cbr\u003ethis book is both a sumptuous reference and a terrifying reminder of\u003cbr\u003ehumanity's impact on birds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA direct replacement for Greenway's seminal 1958 title Extinct and Vanishing Birds, this book will be the standard reference on the subject for generations to come.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152082878704,"sku":"9781408158623","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408158623_p0.jpg?v=1763718037","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408158623","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
