“Gripping... [O'Connor] examines the complex, high-tech, usually expensive, and often controversial efforts to save species in peril and even long-gone.” ——科克斯評論,星級書評
“O'Connor's engrossing book on the revival prospects of eight species scuffs the glittering promises of "resurrection science" without scotching them...A book as thought-provoking as it is fascinating.”——書單雜誌
“At the intersection of conservation, technology and hope lie some of the most fascinating -- and often unsettling -- stories of the fight to preserve the world's natural heritage. In Resurrection Science, M.R. O'Connor plumbs the ways synthetic biology might recreate an extinct pigeon, a Hail-Mary gamble in Africa to save a vanishing toad with the world's biggest sprinkler system, and the bioethics of bringing living Neanderthals back to the 21st century. Rhinos, whales, panthers and a sacred crow inhabit this world of tantalizing and sometimes frightening prospects, which O'Connor navigates with journalistic skill and graceful prose.”——Scott Weidensaul, author of THE GHOST WITH TREMBLING WINGS
