Melanie Challenger

In Cornwall, hiking around the half-buried ruins of an old tin mine, Melanie Challenger started to think about the things that have disappeared from our world. From our destruction of the natural world to the human cultures that are rapidly dying out, her thought-provoking – and ultimately hopeful – book On Extinction is a passionate exploration of these disappearances and why they should concern us.
