Product description
This book, rich with illustrations and pictures, talks about the story of the migratory pigeons that settled in North America and then became extinct, like the mammoth and the dodo. The publication of the book coincided with the hundredth anniversary of Martha's death; she was the last of this species of pigeon that lived in Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio. Fuller’s work presents a revivalist work in memory of a bird that represented great importance to America's environmental surroundings. It also indicates that the extinction of migratory pigeons, according to Fuller, reflects the fragility of the natural world animal when it teaches us that these birds, which once blocked the sun and sky due to their large numbers, became extinct due to human destructive tools.
The book received significant reviews in specialized newspapers and magazines, and Newsneste "The New World" magazine said: This book, with its style and beautiful illustrations, offers an accurate and beautiful narrative in its treatment of the biology of this bird and its extinction. The book was written by Erol Fuller; he is an English writer and artist interested in extinct creatures in his writings and drawings, and he has other works in this field, including; the book of the Great Ostrich; and the Dodo bird book. Erol Fuller’s works are also considered a scientific reference on the subject, in addition to their narrative style and the beautiful pictures and drawings they contain, which enrich the subject and give it movement and vitality.
