Description:
Is life on our planet teetering on the brink of another mass extinction? Acclaimed paleontologist Peter D. Ward answers with a resounding yes. Ward presents the gripping tale of his investigations into the history of life and death on Earth through a series of expeditions that have brought him ever closer to the truth about mass extinctions, past and future. After describing the three previous mass extinctions that took place in prehistoric times, Ward assesses the present devastation in which countless species are coming to the end of their evolution at the hand of that wandering, potentially destructive force called Homo sapiens. Ward offers powerful proof that if radical measures are not taken to protect the biodiversity of this planet, much of life as we know it may not survive.
