Going beyond the myriad existing theories, which range from the sublime to the ridiculous, Moore presents an ingenious take on the slaughter. Weighing in at 576 pages, From Hell is certainly the most epic of Moore's works and remarkably and is possibly his finest effort yet in a career punctuated by such glorious highlights as Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Having proved himself peerless in the arena of reinterpreting superheroes, Alan Moore turned his ever-incisive eye to the squalid, enigmatic world of Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders of 1888. A radiant abyss where men meet themselves. We're in the most extreme and utter region of the human mind. ![]()

Worse, however, is the destruction wrought, both purposefully and accidentally, by the arrival of humans to already peopled lands. The first people to arrive and settle in the many islands that lay in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - the largest watery basin on earth - were certainly harmful to the ecology of those places, where species of both flora and fauna went extinct quite quickly after human settlement.
