Books
As well as documenting the mass extinction that took place at the end of the Permian period, around 251 million years ago, this volume also presents a history of developing ideas and explains how we know what we know about geology and palaeontology. This new edition also assesses the competing claims for a meteorite impact of a volcanic eruption in Siberia and brings the story thoroughly up to date.
