"Since the disappearance of the last dodo some 280 years ago, over 130 species and subspecies of birds have completely disappeared or have become seriously threatened with extinction. The passenger pigeon, Labrador duck, great auk, the nearly extinct ivory-billed woodpecker and whooping crane are but a few of the many varieties of parrot, owl, thrush, honeycreeper, duck, sparrow, etc., which have been wiped out, usually due to man's interference. Greenway's book is the first up-to-date, comprehensive survey of extinct and vanishing birds, and, as such, it serves as a strong warning about steps which must be taken to prevent the total disappearance of the threatened species. He begins with an area-by-area survey of important lost and disappearing birds, carefully noting all possible causes for their disappearance. Then, each species and subspecies is discussed individually, with detailed information on nomenclature, last sightings, range, description, habits, and similar material." --Back cover.

Extinct Birds was the first comprehensive review of the hundreds of the bird species and subspecies that have become extinct over the last 1,000 years of habitat degradation, over-hunting and rat introduction. It has become the standard text on this subject, covering both familiar icons of extinction as well as more obscure birds, some known from just one specimen or from travellers' tales. This second edition is expanded to include dozens of new species, as more are constantly added to the list, either through extinction or through new subfossil discoveries. Extinct Birds is the result of decades of research into literature and museum drawers, as well as caves and subfossil deposits, which often reveal birds long-gone that disappeared without ever being recorded by scientists while they lived. From Greak Auks, Carolina Parakeets and Dodos to the amazing yet almost completely vanished bird radiations of Hawaii and New Zealand via rafts of extinction in the Pacific and elsewhere, this book is both a sumptuous reference and astounding testament to humanity's devastating impact on wildlife.
