Their stories are captivating, from the eyeless and tiny dragonlike olm to the hawksbill turtle, whose gender will be determined by the temperature of the sand it is born in. These species may have survived for hundreds of thousands of years by cleverly adapting to their environments, but their future remains far from certain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book brings to life red cranes as they dance and bow for the sheer joy of movement, trees that breathe out a haze of misty atmosphere for insects that only feast on one kind of flower, a deep-ocean snail quietly building its shell from iron... and each one of them is illuminated with an exquisite illustration. As you turn the pages, there emerges a network of life that stretches across and around the planet in a dazzling web of existence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is both a love letter to life on Earth, and an urgent summons to protect what is precious and lovely in this world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beatrice Forshall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526623773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526623775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.63h x 7.35w x 1.00d","brand":"Beatrice Forshall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133497602303,"sku":"9781526623775","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67d47ce4-87f0-48f0-812f-507c8e4ab276.jpg?v=1687486483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-vanishing-species-beatrice-forshall-9781526623775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
