"What caused the extinction of so many animals at or near the end
of the Pleistocene? Was it overkill by human hunters, the result of
a major climatic change or was it just a part of some massive
evolutionary turnover? Questions such as these have plagued
scientists for over one hundred years and are still being heatedly
debated today. "Quaternary Extinctions" presents the latest and
most comprehensive examination of these questions." --Geological
Magazine
"May be regarded as a kind of standard encyclopedia for
Pleistocene vertebrate paleontology for years to come." --American
Scientist
"Should be read by paleobiologists, biologists, wildlife managers,
ecologists, archeologists, and anyone concerned about the ongoing
extinction of plants and animals." --Science
"Uncommonly readable and varied for watchers of paleontology and
the rise of humankind." --Scientific American
"Represents a quantum leap in our knowledge of Pleistocene and
Holocene palaeobiology. . . . Many volumes on our bookshelves are
destined to gather dust rather than attention. But not this one."
--Nature
"Two strong impressions prevail when first looking into this epic
compendium. One is the judicious balance of views that range over
the whole continuum between monocausal, cultural, or environmental
explanations. The second is that both the data base and theoretical
sophistication of the protagonists in the debate have improved by a
quantum leap since 1967." --American Anthropologist
