Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition and has been covered in clear, removable, mylar, protective film. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Educational, historically informative, entertaining whilst at the same time disturbing. The exploration of the evidence for the planitisimal (meteorite/asteroid/comet generic term, that hit planet Earth 65m years ago and wiped out a significant number of the extant species of the time - including the dinosaurs. Allaby and Lovelock lead the reader through the last major shock event that ultimately affected the course of evolution and shaped the world we live in today. No scientific training necessary for understanding. The book is well written, illustrated and scary - particularly since in March 1989 a 100 metre diameter asteriod passed within twice the radius of the moon's orbit in a 'near miss', and nobody detected it until it had gone by.
