Synopsis

Frozen Extinctions explores how past ice ages decimated species, offering vital clues about current climate change threats. The book argues that the secrets to future climate resilience lie frozen within the remains of extinct megafauna, from woolly mammoths to giant penguins. By studying these frozen graveyards, scientists uncover how environmental shifts reshape ecosystems, providing insights for modern conservation. For instance, analyzing mammoth remains reveals the combined impact of climate change and human activity on their extinction, while studying giant penguins highlights the effects of changing sea ice conditions.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with an introduction to glacial extinctions and the scientific methods used to study frozen remains, such as DNA analysis and radiocarbon dating. It then delves into specific case studies from the Pleistocene epoch, examining the extinctions of woolly mammoths and giant penguins. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to draw broader conclusions about habitat loss, resource competition, and evolutionary adaptation, connecting these historical events to today's conservation challenges. This approach emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the research, combining paleontology, geology, and genetics to understand the complex interplay of factors driving extinctions.

 
Frozen Extinctions provides a balanced overview of the evidence and addresses controversies surrounding megafaunal extinctions. Its insights are invaluable for policymakers, conservationists, and anyone concerned about biodiversity in a warming world. By understanding the ecological vulnerabilities of past species, we can better predict and mitigate the impacts of climate change on extant species.

    Bryce Canyon is a forest made from stone-and weather is still cutting it down.
    
    Sediments accumulated. Land rose. Water entered cracks. Frost widened them. Ridges became fins, windows, towers, and hoodoos. The forms that define Bryce exist because destruction never stops.
    
    William Stanek's The Living Bryce Canyon Biography follows that process through geology, high-plateau ecology, Southern Paiute relationships, settlement, tourism, preservation, fire, night sky, and the long human fascination with a landscape of astonishing impermanence.
    
    Bryce appears architectural, almost designed.
    
    Its biography reveals the opposite: a landscape produced by repeated failure, fracture, freeze, thaw, erosion, and time.

    'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
    Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
    'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
    'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin
