3-0 out of 5 stars Decent Reference to Everything Dodo...
As past reviewers have mentioned, this book is visually stunning. A very good entry level book to give a historical background on records, sketches, semi-factiods, and assumptions. Fuller makes it very clear (time and time again) that everything we think we know about the dodo is based on written records or sketches. Fuller also points out that we don't have complete facts on the legitimacy of any of the accounts. For example, some written accounts were taken from a boat that traveled by the island...the accountee not even stepping foot on the island. Furthermore, the recognizable paintings may or may not have been created from a live specimen, but a taxidermied version which may have been overstuffed. The book is a quick read, allowing the reader to form their own view and create their own image of what they belive the dodo once was. I recommend merely as a collection of visual reference and general historical accounts.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful History of Extinction's Emblem
"As dead as a dodo."Everyone knows the phrase (and it is far clearer than the obscure doornail variant).The dodo is universally acknowledged as a symbol of extinction, not just a dead bird, not just a dead species, but an emblem of wipeout.Although everyone knows the dodo, we know almost nothing about it.It was discovered and wiped out long before the days of scientific observation.Errol Fuller has told us just about everything there is to know about the bird in _Dodo: A Brief History_ (HarperCollins).It is not as big or lush a volume as the one he produced on another goner, the great auk, but it is beautiful and fascinating.3-0 out of 5 stars A vapid performance
Visually this book is stunning.Informative it is.But if you found a book about dinosaurs that said "we know almost nothing about them, except that there are no dinosaurs today" would you be interested?This is how Fuller starts his commentary on the dodo - "We know almost nothing...."We know more about the dodo that some dinosaurs?The author therefore finds very little of substance to say on the Dodo.The moral of the whole book is, "here are the facts but we don't really know and we can't either so there".In its attempt to be critical and parsimonious, it trips over itself in a mess of contradictions (was the Dodo grey or brown? - "it seems to have been greyish though Saftleven clearly shows the head was brown")and a script that reads like watery thin soup.
