An elegant shorebird with a rounded body and an improbably elongated bill, the long-billed curlew is a highly intelligent bird that mates for life. There aren't many curlews left, but those that remain undertake stunning migrations from summer grasslands to coastal and wetland wintering grounds, returning to find one another again. With their diverse habitat needs, these singular birds highlight the importance of critical but increasingly endangered grassland ecosystems and have become an emblem of the formidable challenges that all birds face today.

Humans are a force of nature like no other animal on the planet. For thousands of years, we have radically altered the destiny of other species. Today, we do so at such an accelerating rate that it is widely proposed that we live on the brink of a Sixth Extinction, comparable to the most destructive moments in the fossil record. The Last Animal provides the first historical account of humanity's impact on animal biodiversity, taking listeners from the megafaunal extinctions of the Ice Age to the planetwide perils of the present.
