While Corcoran's Alphabet showcases how we as a species exploit wildlife and wild places for our survival, it also poses a profound question to the reader: Can we truly allow this to continue? Through its 26 beautiful animal illustrations, the book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the natural world for future generations.
