Extinct Birds
by Errol Fuller (Viking/Rain-
bird, $59.95). This beautifully designed book starts with the depressing prefatory comment: ‘This is perhaps the last time that this subject will be approached both comprehensively and in a single volume. In 15 or 20 years. . . there will be just too many extinct species!’’ Any New Zealander reading the book will be disturbed to see how frequently New Zealand’s name crops up in association with extinct birds. Let us hope we do not contribute to further extinctions.
