If you could bring back one animal from the past, what would you choose? In Bring Back the King, Helen Pilcher explains the cutting-edge science that makes the resurrection of extinct animals a real possibility, and highlights her choices from eras gone by. Funny, intriguing and informative, this book describes current initiatives and future plans to restore deceased animals, and uses both science and wilful irreverence to assess how these genetic Lazaruses might fare in their brave new world.
