Fionnáin reviewed The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert
Review of 'The Sixth Extinction' on 'Import'
3 stars
A broad scope and interesting if grim topic, Kolbert explores the five previous major extinctions in the past, and creates observations on how the Anthropocene (the era where human beings are changing their environment) is creating a sixth major extinction. Some excellent research occasionally spoiled by overly simplistic journalistic writing that meanders aimlessly. Overall an interesting and accessible read, and a good introduction book to the Anthropocene.
