Noah’s Choice illuminates the essential questions that now confront environmentalist, developers, ecologist, and, indeed, all Americans. Why do some species face extinction, and why should we care? How serious is the problem, and how much will fixing it cost? Can we save all of nature and still have all the material things we want? And if we cannot, how should we choose which species to bring on board our ark—and which to leave behind?
