Inhaltsangabe:

Some 250 million years ago, the Earth suffered the greatest biological crisis in its history. Extinction is a paleontological mystery story that provides a fascinating overview of the evidence for and against a whole host of hypotheses concerning this cataclysmic event that unfolded at the end of the Permian - and set the stage for the development of life as we know it today.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Douglas H. Erwin is senior scientist and curator in the Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He began researching the end-Permian mass extinction in the early 1980s and has traveled many times to China, South Africa, and Europe seeking its causes.
