Trade Review
“This is a very personal, affecting account of one man’s endeavor to come to grips with the fact that humans in the twentieth century are causing extinctions at an unprecedented rate.” -- Publishers Weekly
"Beautifully composed natural history . . . simply superb."--Kirkus
"Despite its litany of stark truths, Wild Echoes is anything but an oppressive book. Bergman's prose is rich and lively, his search becomes a shared adventure, his affection for ‘broken creatures' rings clear, and his perspective elevates hope above desperation."--Orion
