Trees: A Woodland Notebook Containing Observations on Certain British and Exotic Trees

"Extinct Birds" by The Hon. Walter Rothschild is a scientific book that documents birds that have vanished in recent centuries, as well as those nearing extinction. Inspired by a lecture he gave in 1905, Rothschild explores avian extinction by studying species known from skeletons, literature, or past observations. The book is organized into two parts, including information about birds with both skeletons and descriptions, and birds only known from skeletal remains or writings. Rothschild highlights that human behavior and habitat destruction are some of the primary reasons for these losses.
