Summary: A Topnotch Read on the Biodiversity Crisis in America
Comment: David Wilcove takes the reader on a tour of biodiversity loss and renewal throughout the United States. Each chapter focuses on a region, highlights the unique environmental problems of that region, and comprehensively addresses the extinction of vertebrates in that area. He also showcases those (sadly few) species that have flirted with extinction but which are now on the rebound. The book is both amazingly easy to read and thoroughly researched. Happily, the details of the research are tucked at the book of the book so they don't interrupt the flow of the tale, but are available for to the most exacting reader. Wilcove's passion as a birdwatcher shines through and his personality manifests itself on every page. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the state of conservation in the US.

Summary: AP Environmental Class
Comment: I read this book for my AP Environmental class in high school. I thought this was an easy book to read. It talks about the loss and recovery of wildlife in america. It is divided up into different sections for example the east, mid-west, west, and the coastal regions. Condor's shadow can easily be used in research projects and papers. In the back of the book is a handy notes, lit cited, and index sections making it easier for further research. The author does not seem to write with any bias and keeps his point of view until the end of the book. I would recomend this book for both nature lovers and students.

Summary: Not The Condor's Shadow
Comment: I want to start my review by saying, don't judge a book by its cover or its title for that matter. Although the Condor's Shadow
speaks very little about the Condor, it does symbolize the species of the United States that have disappeared or have become endagered. But to put it blunty, I was quite TICKED, because I was lead to believe that the book was about the Condor and his shadow! The book's overall entertainment level was low, but it was a real eye opener, no doubt. It explained the impact of humans on the environment and how fragile wildlife is to the world. All and all this book put fourth a whole lot of knowledge about the environment.
