Beautiful review of Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction by Kathryn Schulz in the latest issue of New York:
“[Kolbert] makes a page-turner out of even the most sober and scientifically demanding aspects of extinction. Combining a lucid, steady, understated style with some enviable reporting adventures… she produces a book that is both serious-minded and invites exclamation points into its margins.” – Kathryn Schulz, New York

Michiko Kakutani reviews Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction in this morning's New York Times:
“Arresting…[Kolbert’s] writing here is the very model of explanatory journalism, making highly complex theories and hypotheses accessible to even the most science-challenged of readers, while providing a wonderfully tactile sense of endangered (or already departed) species and their shrinking habitats….Kolbert shows in these pages that she can write with elegiac poetry about the vanishing creatures of this planet.” – Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
