More than 999 of every 1,000 species that have ever lived on the
planet have become extinct. As part of evolution, extinction of the
old allows emergence of the new. It is integral to the Earth's
continually changing range and richness of life-forms. Extinction:
not the end of the world? is a highly readable introduction to the
causes of extinction, the different types of extinction and how
relevant it is to the world today. The book discusses today's key
issues, from biodiversity and conservation to the threat of human
extinction, as well as exploring the major extinction events of the
past and explaining how scientists know all this. Throughout the
book there are engaging extinction case studies from around the
world showing, for example, how local extinctions such as the large
blue butterfly can be reversed. Presenting the latest research in
an accessible and engaging way, this is a complete introduction to
an important and often complex subject. The book is published to
accompany the major new exhibition of the same name which opens at
the Natural History Museum, London, in February 2013.
