Reaction after reading The Sixth Extinction

Alison's picture

I like Kolbert’s Sixth Extinction a lot. It’s illustrated in a more historical and scientific perspective, but it is very attractive though. I was drawn to the story of the frogs story and then subsequently interested in the reality of them. The proportion of illustration and example is crucial for me when I started reading something I don’t know, and I think this book is good for the induction to the kinds of serious events for the people who knows little about them. Moreover, this book provides a very interesting aspects to looking at the behaviors of humans. I do enjoy reading the chapters and learn some very useful information.
