Harvard University Press is pleased to announce the publication of Joe
Roman's  <http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674047518> Listed:
Dispatches from America's Endangered Species Act.

  <http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674047518> Listed by Joe
Roman

 

★ A Mother Nature Network Best Green and Environmental Book of the Year

 

More than a general history of endangered species protection, Listed is a
tale of threatened species in the wild—from the whooping crane and North
Atlantic right whale to the purple bankclimber, a freshwater mussel tangled
up in a water war with Atlanta—and the people working to save them.

"In Listed, conservation biologist Joe Roman recounts the uses and abuses of
a well-intentioned but all-too-human law...Roman's meandering and
occasionally lyrical book is generally optimistic about the law he is
chronicling, and he tends toward win-win tales."

—Katherine Mangu-Ward, Wall Street Journal

 

"The Endangered Species Act was a revolutionary step toward the protection
of threatened biodiversity, but it has not been an unqualified
success...Roman examines the history, accomplishments, and failures of the
law."

—J. L. Hunt, Choice 

 

"Read[s] like dispatches from a war reporter in the midst of battle."

—Daniel Simberloff, American Scientist
