Waiting for the Macaws and other stories from the age of extinction

$15.00 CAD

pp. 318, “Waiting for the Macaws is a haunting and beautifully written account of the age in which we live. A dark and gathering sameness is upon the earth, and while ecologists are calling this epoch the Sixth Great Extinction, the world isn? losing just the ecological legacy of animal and plant species. We are also losing the vast human legacy of languages, ways of living, ways of seeing, and ways of knowing. Journeying around the world and drawing upon zoology, biology, ecology, anthropology, and mythology, Terry Glavin argues that all extinctions are related and that the language of environmentalism is inadequate to describing this great unravelling.”
