Focusing on the ecological tragedy of the Great Auk, the book explores the devastating impact of human exploitation on this once-thriving seabird species. It details the Auk's idyllic life at sea and its vulnerability to human predation, particularly after European discovery in the 16th century, leading to its extinction by 1844. The narrative also delves into the obsession with collecting its remains, highlighting a poignant journey through history and conservation. Renowned ornithologist Tim Birkhead's involvement adds depth to the exploration of the Auk's legacy.
