A Rare Find

A few years ago, I had the good fortune to communicate with Eric Dinerstein, Chief Scientist of the World Wildlife Fund. He contributed a story called "Tigerland" to my 2005 anthology, The Back Road to Crazy. Needless to say, I've been a longtime admirer of Eric's work, both in print and in the field. 

So, I was thrilled to find that Eric has just published a new book called The Kingdom of Rarities. 
 

In this global romp through mythic lands, readers get up-close-and-personal with many of the planet's rarest creatures and come away with a new understanding of why they're rare and how conservation might be able to save them from extinction.
