  When the Last One Fell Silent: Stories of Extinct Creatures is a haunting yet deeply human exploration of extinction—told not as dry statistics, but as a series of vivid portraits that bring lost creatures back to life through story, imagery, and reflection. From the island forests where dodos once waddled without fear, to the endless skies once blackened by passenger pigeons, to the misty rainforests where golden toads shimmered like jewels, each chapter of this book immerses readers in the world as it once was—and as it might never be again. 
  Extinction is as old as life itself, but in the last few centuries its rhythm has changed. Where once climate, asteroids, and ice shaped life and loss, today extinction bears the clear mark of one species—our own. This book moves tenderly through history, telling the stories of animals we have lost: the thylacine of Tasmania, hunted more by rumor than truth; the great auk and Steller’s sea cow, slaughtered out of utility and curiosity; the Pyrenean ibex, which briefly flickered back into life through cloning before disappearing again; the mammoths, whose heavy footfalls once trembled across frozen steppes; and the baiji dolphin, the gentle goddess of the Yangtze, drowned beneath the noise of factories and boats. 
  Each chapter does more than recount the facts of extinction. It lingers on the silences that follow. Silence of forests once filled with birds. Silence of oceans where seals no longer bark. Silence of mountains where goats no longer leap. Readers are invited not only to see the loss but to feel it—the grief of the final call, the heaviness of absence, the weight of knowing that these lives were here, and now they are not. 
  At the same time, When the Last One Fell Silent is not simply an elegy. It is also a mirror and a warning. Chapters on myths and legends show how humans carry the memory of vanished animals in stories of dragons, thunder birds, and mermaids.

  Leibniz' Anthology of...

  Maimonides’ Latin translation of Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed, was the most influential Jewish work in the last millennia (Di Segni, 2019; Rubio, 2006; Wohlman, 1988, 1995; Kohler, 2017). It marked the beginning of scholasticism, a daughter of Judaism raised by Jewish thinkers, according to historian Heinrich Graetz (Geschichte der Juden, L. 6, Leipzig 1861, p. xii). 
  Printed by Gutenberg's first mechanical press, its influence in the West went as far as the Fifth Lateran Council (1512 — 1517) "where scholars were encouraged to remove the difficulties which seemed to divide the whole of theology and philosophy (Leibniz, Théodicée, 11)." 
  For centuries, the Guide revolutionized the curriculum of school instruction by reintegrating the natural laws of thought in the sphere of faith (the fourth of which became Leibniz’ Principle of sufficient reason). 
  This complete collection of notes expounds the ideas of the Guide and features all the passages selected and rewritten by Leibniz. This first complete annotated bilingual translation of the original manuscripts in Latin serves as an entry point to the faith in conformity with Reason. 
  Rabbi Moses Maimonides' excellent book, A Guide to the Perplexed, is more philosophical than I had imagined and worthy of careful reading. The author, distinguished by his intelligence in philosophy, was well-versed in mathematics, medical art, and also in the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures. — G.W. LEIBNIZ, 1685, Leibniz’ Anthology of Maimonides’ Guide, Chapter III. 
  Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon referred to by the initials of his name as RAMBAM, also known in the past as Moseh d’Egypto (Moses of Egypt) because of his long residence there, was born in Córdoba (Spain) in 1131 4891 and left this temporal world in 1204 4964. He is the most universal Rabbi of an eternal tradition.
