Jolyon C. Parish’s The Dodo and the Solitaire: A Natural History has been named a Library Journal Editors' Pick from BookExpo America 2012.
"The Dodo and the Solitaire: A Natural History (Indiana Univ. Pr., Nov.) meticulously traces human encounters with these ill-fated large flightless birds—perhaps had they retained the ability to fly they would have survived," writes Social Sciences Editor Margaret Heilbrun. "Parish’s book is rich with contemporary images, evocative descriptions, and later anatomical studies."
You can pre-order and find more information about The Dodo and the Solitaire on the IU Press website.
