<br> Once & Future Giants beautifully connects the world as we know it to one that, on a geological scale, disappeared only yesterday. We still understand so little about the natural history of the animals that went extinct, and a nuanced view in which both humans and climate change played significant roles in the decline of many species is beginning to emerge, but, for the moment, Levy's book effectively states the case for those who want to heal ecological wounds thought to have been opened by prehistoric humans. --Brian Switek, Wired<p><br> The book tackles the often conflicting theories and research in such a way that lay readers can understand what scientists think happened in the past and what they see happening now. But the big question is whether we can reverse these trends. Levy outlines possible methods to save some of the living megafauna and rebalance ecosystems... Highly recommended for all interested readers. --Library Journal<br><br><p><br>
