A lush Hawaiian paradise now the scene of devastating depopulation and extinction... The mighty Columbia River, stripped of its once abundant salmon, now an empty series of dammed lakes... Wolves, at one time numbering more than 2 million in the continental United States, now dwindled to perhaps 2,000. Twice in the distant past, catastrophic extinction shave swept the earth, causing the 'end' evolution for certain creatures". Book about Mass Extinctions.
