Extinctions in Near Time: Causes, Contexts, and Consequences (Advances in Vertebrate Paleobiology)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book examines an important and growing issue among ecologists, conservation biologists, and archaeologists, namely recent extinction of species, and will focus on treatments of losses thought to have been caused by humans in some way over the past 40,000 years when Homo sapiens spread worldwide. There is an exemplary list of leading figures in this debate, and the book should have impact for the debate on current conservation issues and biodiversity.
