"Qu'est-ce que la sixième extinction ? Dans la longue histoire de la terre, il y a déjà eu cinq extinctions massives. Provoquées par des phénomènes naturels, elles ont vu, à chaque fois, disparaître de très nombreuses espèces. La sixième est actuelle, elle voit le nombre d'espèces animales et végétales s'éteindre de façon accélérée... Elle commence il y a 40 000 ou 50 000 ans, notamment pour les grands mammifères, et s'accélère au cours du dernier millénaire, voire ces dernières centaines d'années. Des oiseaux, des rongeurs, des grands fauves, à poils, à plumes, grands et petits, voici un surprenant bestiaire qui présente, pour chaque animal, sa carte d'identité, son mode de vie, son habitat et le récit de son extinction. Chaque espèce nous raconte son histoire comme un conte que viennent appuyer de grandes photographies muséographiques par leur côté poétique et mystérieux. À travers 70 portraits ethnozoologiques ce livre propose un aperçu des nombreuses espèces qui ont disparu depuis 50 000 ans et jusqu'à aujourd'hui !"

"The sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction is one of the most pervasive issues of our time. Animals, Plants and Afterimages brings together leading scholars in the humanities and life sciences to explore how extinct species are represented in art and visual culture, with a special emphasis on museums. Engaging with celebrated cases of vanished species such as the quagga and the thylacine as well as less well-known examples of animals and plants, these essays explore how representations of recent and ancient extinctions help advance scientific understanding and speak to contemporary ecological and environmental concerns"--
