The Song of the Dodo
Island Biogeography in an Age of Extinctions
by David Quammen
David Quammen travels the world, visiting endangered species.
An entertaining science-travel book, examining the thorny issue of whether species can be conserved in small "islands". A great read, and very well researched—despite the occasional, unfair dig at Charles Darwin.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
