"Swift as a Shadow hits
the reader as hard as an actual face to face encounter with the reality of
extinction. From the Carolina parakeet to the Lake Titicaca amanto (a
fish), the reader is escorted through a mausoleum of species that can only
be held and photographed because a precious few found there way to
museums. The authors come from the Leiden Museum's staff of curators, some
of the most knowledgeable professionals in the world.
A fascinating, sobering and compelling
"must-read" book for anyone interested in biodiversity,
evolution, extinction or ecology. It is so well designed that artists,
too, will find it an indispensable source of inspiration."
