      abstract = {As Mark V. Barrow Jr. reveals in "Nature's Ghosts", the  threat of species loss has haunted Americans since the  early days of the republic.  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.  These fascinating  stories of endangered animals and the dedicated individuals  who have studied and struggled to protect them offer an  unprecedented view of what we've lost -- and a stark  reminder of the hard work of preservation still ahead.},
