The first, \u003ci\u003eExtinct Boids\u003c\/i\u003e, featured vanished birds like the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Carolina Parakeet, with a variety of boids like the Gob Swallow and the Needless Smut to keep them company. This was followed by \u003ci\u003eNextinction\u003c\/i\u003e, where the focus switched to birds that are still just about with us, such as the Giant Ibis and Kakapo, along with classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing. The series was completed by \u003ci\u003eCritical Critters\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring critically endangered mammals, insects, fish, lizards and trees - a stunning collection, with a strong conservation message. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis box set brings the three elements of the Gonzovation trilogy together for the first time. These books form a body of art of rare brilliance. Packed with trademark Steadman humour, they also represent a powerful and compelling appeal for change in the way we treat the animals that share our planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll of us can follow the gonzovationist path - let \u003ci\u003eThe Gonzovation Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e be your guide.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRALPH STEADMAN is a world-renowned cartoonist and caricaturist.
