"A narrowly focused topic, clear presentation, and light page count
make this an easy pick for academic strugglers faced with a
research assignment, but any readers with an interest in endangered
animals--not to mention human-generated and nature disasters--will
be drawn to this title as well." --The Bulletin of the Center for
