REVIEW ñ EYLTRANSFERSERVICES.CO.UK Ï Richard Girling
Xplores the science of collecting and naming specimens traces the development of the conservation movement and addresses the central issues of extinction and biodiversity The Hunt for the Golden Mole is an engaging story which illustrates the importance of every living creature no matter how small strange or rare It is a thoughtful shocking inspiring and important book. While this book makes some very good points I was really hoping for something that focused on living golden moles and other animals rather than the history of killing animals for science However books that bring awareness to little known animals such as golden moles are generally helpful in their conservation so I would still recommend this

Picked this up at the library without ever having heard of it The novel concerns the author's search for the rare golden mole which has never been observed but parts of which had been previously found in an owl pellet More than that however the book concerns itself with the history of hunting issues of biodiversity and humanity's challenging relationship with animals I found the information interesting and it did give me pause to think about the need to biodiversity in general This book read very much like an extended magazine article which makes sense because the author is a journalist
