Books by Michael Novacek

The natural world as humans have always known it evolved close to 100 million years ago. Its tremendous history is now in danger of profound, catastrophic disruption. This title presents a synthesis of evolutionary biology, palaeontology, and modern environmental science to show how we can understand and prevent 'mass extinction event.'

Palaeontologist Michael Novacek is an authority on patterns of evolution and on the relationships among extinct and extant organisms. This book is his account of how a boyhood passion for dinosaurs became a lifelong commitment to vanguard science.
