![]() ![]() One believes that the changes on earth happen in a gradual manner as the results of numerous other previous changes the other, as the name suggests, that extinctions are due to some major catastrophes. Two contradicting theories about extinction are uniformitarianism and Catastrophism. In our current time, extinction doesn’t seem like a fancy term, even kids can talk about how the dinosaurs and their extinction, but up until the 18th century, people have not considered the fact that “what existed may have vanished into thin air”. Some part of the book was somewhat history heavy, talking about the discoveries scientists made leading up to the concept of “extinction”. When I decided to read this book, I had in mind a book with graphs and percentages to give out stunning information about how human activities have killed off many animals on earth and I was ready to feel guilty but this book,with factual details woven into deftly written language, gives me a feeling that is quite indescribable: it’s like standing on a remote island in isolation to realize that whatever I had is probably gone or in the process of disappearing. Available in: Hardcopy (Maybe consider used book?), ebook, audiobook. ![]()
