“[Wignall] presents a sound examination of an 80-million-year span, which began nearly 260 million years ago, that is considered by scientists to have been the most extreme extinction event in Earth’s history . . . . [A] great example of scientific sleuthing.
Publishers Weekly
“[An] excellent introduction to the latest thinking about this key period in Earth’s history. . . . Wignall’s book is enthralling.”
–Matthew Cobb, New Scientist
“In this scholarly but accessible analysis, geologist Wignall explores the perfect storm of cataclysms, plate tectonics and other forces that led to ‘˜The Great Dying’ – and the rebound of life in its aftermath.”
Gemma Tarlach, Discover magazine
“Well written and persuasive.”
