This book should be far better than it is. Especially given how much it costs. The snake photos are too small and the “actual size“ photos are slightly blurred.

This was quite philosophical at times. Does it make sense to save a species that is then unable to live in the wild? Is it fair to that animal? What constitues true conservation? Life at all costs? There are even DNA banks, called frozen zoo's, with samples of over a thousand different species of insects, fish and mammals saved in them. (10,000 individual cells.) To what end remains to be seen. Overall it was a facinating read and I learned a lot.

It's clear that the author comes to this subject with a sense of wonder, happy to explore new and old questions that don't necessarily have answers. It also seems the author is happy to float off a little farther outside the box than the textual framework might initially seem to support, and that he's happy to repeat himself if he thinks it will help convey the information he's focused on. 1/3
