    About this ebook

    Prevention and Reversal of Species Extinction
    The must-read summary of "Resurrection Science: Conservation, De-Extinction and the Precarious Future of Wild Things," by M. R. O'Connor.

    Many species are threatened with extinction because of anthropogenic global warming, degraded habitats, overexploitation, disease, and invasive species. In Resurrection Science, journalist M. R. O'Connor introduces us to renowned scientists who try to use expensive, high-tech, and often controversial efforts to save endangered and even extinct species. Each chapter focuses on a unique species like the northern white rhinoceros, the passenger pigeons, and the Tanzanian rainforest spray toads, incorporating their natural history and evolutionary biology and raising many ethical, environmental, and philosophical issues on this new science.

    This guide includes:
    * Book Summary—The summary helps you understand the key ideas and recommendations.
    * Online Videos—On-demand replay of public lectures, and seminars on the topics covered in the chapter.

    Value-added of this guide:
    * Save time
    * Understand key concepts
    * Expand your knowledge

    Read this book to understand the science and ethics of the prevention and reversal of species extinction.
