Synopsis
A cartoon presentation of the facts of extinction - why does it happen? How can it be prevented? The book covers natural and other extinctions from early fossil records to modern endangered species, and looks at the theories surrounding the disappearance of the dinosaurs, Ice Age extinctions, the dodo, and many other examples. It ends by looking at remedies and successful reintroduction schemes.
