About This Item
Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2006. Assumed First Edition . Hard Back. Fine/Fine. 6" x 9. 296 Pages Indexed. Previous owner's name label and date "Mar 06" are on the front endpaper No other marks noted and interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. Some 250 million years ago, the earth suffered the greatest biological crisis in its history. Around 95% of all living species died out--a global catastrophe far greater than the dinosaurs' demise 65 million years ago. How this happened remains a mystery. But there are many competing theories. Some blame huge volcanic eruptions that covered an area as large as the continental United States; others argue for sudden changes in ocean levels and chemistry, including burps of methane gas; and still others cite the impact of an extraterrestrial object, similar to what caused the dinosaurs' extinction.
