Unlike other meditations on the subject, Flight Ways incorporates the particularities of real animals and their worlds, drawing philosophers, natural scientists, and general readers into the experience of living among and losing biodiversity.Each chapter of Flight Ways focuses on a different species or group of birds: North Pacific albatrosses, Indian vultures, an endangered colony of penguins in Australia, Hawaiian crows, and the iconic whooping cranes of North America. Written in eloquent and moving prose, the book takes stock of what is lost when a life form disappears from the world-the wide-ranging ramifications that ripple out to implicate a number of human and more-than-human others. Van Dooren intimately explores what life is like for those who must live on the edge of extinction, balanced between life and oblivion, taking care of their young and grieving their dead. He bolsters his studies with real-life accounts from scientists and local communities at the forefront of these developments. No longer abstract entities with Latin names, these species become fully realized characters enmeshed in complex and precarious ways of life, sparking our sense of curiosity, concern, and accountability toward others in a rapidly changing world. 410 0$aCritical perspectives on animals. 606 $aBirds$xExtinction 615 0$aBirds$xExtinction. 676 $a598.138 700 $aVan Dooren$b Thom$f1980-$01430921 702 $aKryduba$b Wayne 702 $aSmith$b Mary Ann 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791040203321 996 $aFlight ways$93571149 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04321nam 22008175 450 001 9910627272203321 005 20251113180611.0 010 $a87-438-0393-8 010 $a87-438-0025-4 010 $a3-031-05449-0 010 $a9788743803935 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-05449-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7049434 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7049434 035 $a(CKB)24281711700041 035 $a(PPN)263898822 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-05449-5 035 $a(BIP)83732230 035 $a(OCoLC)1528005171 035 $a(OCoLC-P)1528005171 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9788743803935 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924281711700041 100 $a20220723d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDynamics of Civil Structures, Volume 2 $eProceedings of the 40th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics 2022 /$fedited by Hae Young Noh, Matthew Whelan, P.
