IN THIS EPISODE Author and journalist Michelle Nijhuis signed copies of her book, Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction, for dozens of students, faculty and staff following her Sept. 10 lecture at Eckerd College. Beloved Beasts
Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction is a vibrant history of the modern conservation movement, told through the lives and ideas of the people who built it.
In the late nineteenth century, as humans came to realize that our rapidly industrializing and globalizing societies were driving other animal species to extinction, a movement to protect and conserve them was born. In Beloved Beasts, acclaimed science writer and editor Michelle Nijhuis traces the movement’s history: from early battles to save charismatic species to today’s global effort to defend life on a larger scale.
