Summary:A fascinating study that combines research on mass extinction with the theoretical perspectives of the leaders in the field. In twenty engaging essays, more than thirty leading paleobiologists and paleontologists uncover a wealth of data from the fossil record about changes in species survival and physical environments across the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary. Together these papers present a much-awaited global perspective on the bilogical and environmental changes taking place during this critical period in the history of life. Anyone interested in the K/T boundary controversy and how research scientists interpret the relationship between climate change and mass extinction will find this work essential.
