" The essays are united by the authors' passionate commitment to preserving the natural diversity, both genetic and esthetic, of the earth's myriad plant and animal species. As this book demonstrates ... when we kill these other species, either directly or by destroying their habitats, we kill a bit of ourselves." -- Dorion Sagan, The New York Times Book Review (review of the first edition)

From the Back Cover:

This was one of the first books on biodiversity and species loss, and today there is a new and more widespread awareness of what some consider to be the great tragedy of our time-organisms that took many thousands or even millions of years to evolve are disappearing permanently because of human activity.
