Excerpt from Extinct and Vanishing Mammals of the Western Hemisphere, Vol. 11: With the Marine Species of All the Oceans Dr. Francis Harper, of Philadelphia, under arrangements made by Dr. Phillips, undertook this work and devoted many months of care ful research to the preparation of material on the Old World mammals, treating in his report (as yet unpublished) about 400 forms. Dr. Allen made use of a special bibliography of references to literature collected by Dr. Harper, and with this as a basis prepared the present work on the New World and marine mammals, assembling much additional material to complete it. The harper-allen study could never have been brought to its present state of completion had it not been for the most generous financial assistance received in the form of gifts from many individual over a period of seven years, a special grant from the Penrose Fund of the American Philosophical Society (1937, No. And a publi cation grant from the Boone and Crockett Club and the Conservation Committee of the New York Zoological Society. The American Committee takes this opportunity to express its gratitude to Dr. Allen and to Dr. Harper for their months of work in the preparation of material for reports on recently extinct and vanishing mammals of the world. We wish also to thank the forty financial contributors of information from many parts of the world. We are indebted further to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, whose famous library proved of inestimable assistance, and to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge, for the use Of its library and other facilities.

The rapid growth of the American environmental movement in recent decades obscures the fact that long before the first Earth Day and the passage of the Endangered Species Act, naturalists and concerned citizens recognized—and worried about—the problem of human-caused extinction. As Mark V. Barrow reveals in Nature’s Ghosts, the threat of species loss has haunted Americans since the early days of the republic. From Thomas Jefferson’s day—when the fossil remains of such fantastic lost animals as the mastodon and the woolly mammoth were first reconstructed—through the pioneering conservation efforts of early naturalists like John James Audubon and John Muir, Barrow shows how Americans came to understand that it was not only possible for entire species to die out, but that humans themselves could be responsible for their extinction. With the destruction of the passenger pigeon and the precipitous decline of the bison, professional scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike began to understand that even very common species were not safe from the juggernaut of modern, industrial society. That realization spawned public education and legislative campaigns that laid the foundation for the modern environmental movement and the preservation of such iconic creatures as the bald eagle, the California condor, and the whooping crane. A sweeping, beautifully illustrated historical narrative that unites the fascinating stories of endangered animals and the dedicated individuals who have studied and struggled to protect them, Nature’s Ghosts offers an unprecedented view of what we’ve lost—and a stark reminder of the hard work of preservation still ahead.
