Michael Tennesen - The Next Species

Unlike any other book, Michael Tennesen’s The Next Species not only examines the present loss of species, but takes the long view both backwards and forwards, by looking at past extinction events, the evolution of man and nature, evolutionary changes already underway, and the evolutionary changes likely to occur in the future. Based on cutting-edge scientific research, travel through four continents, and personal interviews with more than seventy experts at leading universities and research institutions, it is as exciting and wondrous as it is timely and important.

Michael Tennesen is a science writer who has written more than 300 stories in such journals as Discover, Scientific American, New Scientist, National Wildlife, Audubon, Science, Smithsonian, and others. He was a Media Fellow at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, Duke University, and a Writer in Residence at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York.
