Title: Mass Extinctions
Product review: The book is a good review of current thinking concerning mass extinctions, especially the K/T event. The geochemistry section is clear for those of us who are not specialists in the field. The history of research concerning the K/T event is interesting in its coverage of the progression from denial to cautious scepticm to acceptance. The elucidation of pre K/T extinctions was new to this reviewer and does give a different impression of earth history and the progression of evolution. Overall it is a good book for the lay public and those in the sciences who are not versed in extinctions and bolide impacts through time.
