Summary
:
“Waiting for the Macaws" is a haunting reminder of the scale and breadth of what can only be described as a catastrophe of the human spirit and imagination. A haunting and beautifully written account of the age in which we live. Journeying around the world, Terry Glavin argues that all extinctions are related and that the language of environmentalism is inadequate to describing this great unravelling.
