Two hundred sixty million years ago, life on Earth suffered wave
after wave of cataclysmic extinctions, with the worst wiping out
nearly every species on the planet. The Worst of Times delves into
the mystery behind these extinctions and sheds light on the fateful
role the primeval supercontinent, known as Pangea, might have
played in causing these global catastrophes. Drawing on the latest
discoveries as well as his own firsthand experiences conducting
field expeditions to remote corners of the world, Paul Wignall
reveals what scientists are only now beginning to understand about
the most prolonged and calamitous period of environmental crisis in
Earth's history. Wignall shows how these series of unprecedented
extinction events swept across the planet, killing life on a scale
more devastating than the dinosaur extinctions that would follow.
The Worst of Times unravels one of the great enigmas of ancient
Earth and shows how this ushered in a new age of vibrant and more
resilient life on our planet.
