HOW LONG HAVE HUMANS LEFT ON EARTH?
Sixty-five million years ago the dinosaurs were destroyed in a mass extinction that could not have been predicted. Out of the devastation, new life developed and the world regained its natural equilibrium. Until now. Scientists, employing radically new perspectives on the science of life are beginning to uncover signs of a similar event on the horizon: the end of man.
'Extinction' is a chilling account of the effects that humans have had on the planet and the possible future. The world will adapt and survive - humanity may not.
"Mike Boulter's book explores new ways of looking at extinctions. He is a pioneer and shows how new methods allow us to understand major crises of the past and how they relate to the current problems."
MICHAEL BENTON, 'Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology, University of Bristol'
"Boulter has an intriguing tale to tell...It is indeed a story worth telling, and a book worth reading"
JOHN GRIBBIN, 'Independent'
"Boulter's marvellous meditation on the role of extinction in natural history."
