Samenvatting	"Since the disappearance of the last dodo some 280 years ago, over 130 species and subspecies of birds have completely disappeared or have become seriously threatened with extinction. The passenger pigeon, Labrador duck, great auk, the nearly extinct ivory-billed woodpecker and whooping crane are but a few of the many varieties of parrot, owl, thrush, honeycreeper, duck, sparrow, etc., which have been wiped out, usually due to man's interference. Greenway's book is the first up-to-date, comprehensive survey of extinct and vanishing birds, and, as such, it serves as a strong warning about steps which must be taken to prevent the total disappearance of the threatened species.
