An Environmental History That Is Essential Reading for Anyone Committed to Preserving Life on Earth., Excellent...The book truly shines...when Nijhuis is brutally honest about how the conservation movement gained a reputation for being antihuman., A definitive and informative history...Nijhuis's detailed account is clear-eyed and unvarnished in its honesty., Beloved Beasts is the definitive history of the conservation movement, in all its turbulent, passionate, problematic glory. It shines a bright and unsparing light on environmentalism's most influential hidden figures, and breathes new life into Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and other heroes you thought you knew. The centuries-long campaign to protect our fellow creatures finally has the literary epic it deserves., Spirited and engaging...Always attuned to ironies and anomalies, Nijhuis points out the changes of heart that changed history., An engrossing history of conservation and its accomplishments...Compassionate yet realistic and candid throughout, Nijhuis makes a significant contribution to the literature on environmentalism., In a bravura turn, Michelle Nijhuis shapes three hundred years of conservation history into one riveting tale. Beloved Beasts brims with surprise, compelling characters, and opportunities for introspection about the motley human effort to catalogue, celebrate, and protect the other inhabitants of our planet., At this dawn of the sixth extinction, Michelle Nijhuis has written a book that is both a beautiful, wise history and a measured call to action. By remembering the messy, big-hearted, sometimes near-sighted, but ultimately hopeful efforts of those before us, we can be smarter as we embark on the profoundly human project of saving species other than our own., With candor and authority, Nijhuis focuses on the intertwined relationships, backgrounds and paths of the fervent scientists and activists who spearheaded the conservation movement., Heartfelt, engrossing, thought-provoking, even brutal at times, but always, painfully honest. In her storytelling, Nijhuis doesn't gloss over the dark moments...But it's because of her bold literary choices that the transformative and transcendent moments in this history shine a little brighter., Michelle Nijhuis has written a book that is both a beautiful, wise history and a measured call to action. By remembering the messy, bighearted, sometimes nearsighted, but ultimately hopeful efforts of those before us, we can be smarter as we embark on the profoundly human project of saving species other than our own., A comprehensive history of the conservation movement--and a warning that we are not doing enough to prevent further animal mass extinction., What a lovely, timely book. Michelle Nijhuis's deeply mined research and wholehearted compassion for her subjects--human and animal alike--are evident on every page., Nijhuis's comprehensive survey is sure to delight nature enthusiasts and those concerned with disappearing species., Beloved Beasts raises questions that get to the heart of the conservation movement's shortcomings...[A] much-needed critical history of conservation., In an age of accelerating extinction, Michelle Nijhuis examines the history of conservation biology, from the origin of the concept of species through the CRISPR revolution. Beloved Beasts is at once thoughtful and thought-provoking--a crucial addition to the literature of our troubled time., In an age of accelerating extinction, Michelle Nijhuis examines the history of conservation biology, from the origin of the concept of species through the CRISPR revolution. Beloved Beasts is at once thoughtful and thought-provoking--a crucial addition to the literature of our troubled time.--Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction At this dawn of the sixth extinction, Michelle Nijhuis has written a book that is both a beautiful, wise history and a measured call to action. By remembering the messy, big-hearted, sometimes near-sighted, but ultimately hopeful efforts of those before us, we can be smarter as we embark on the profoundly human project of saving species other than our own.--Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix, From the origin of the concept of species through the CRISPR revolution, Beloved Beasts is at once thoughtful and thought-provoking--a crucial addition to the literature of our troubled time., Capacious, engrossing, and timely...Nijhuis is the sort of writer who makes excavating arcane facts and dinner-party-worthy anecdotes look effortless., [Nijhuis] is a gifted storyteller, capturing both the heroism of those fighting extinction and the reality of biodiversity experts who warn that many, many species are in danger of disappearing within decades., If 'attention is prayer,' as Simone Weil suggests, then Michelle Nijhuis's carefully observed Beloved Beasts is a benediction bestowed not so much upon the men and women who carry out the work of species conservation but upon the very act of living in conversation with the more-than-human world., Lavishly researched, Beloved Beasts is a compassionate look at what humans have done--and need to do next--to protect the natural world.
