Books by David M. (University of Chicago) Raup

This is the first major book to present a comprehensive overview of the current state of extinction studies. At the end of the journey, Raup has put forward the best science of the day to answer the question posed by the title: Bad genes or bad luck?

"David Raup is, to put it baldly and justly, the world's most brilliant paleontologist."-Stephen Jay Gould
