Synopsis
TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level science fun.
Here are the superstars of the story of life, from the super-weird to the super-ferocious. Usually a species has 10 million years or so of evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe doing homework, or even going to the moon before it goes extinct.
Dunkleosteus was super-snappy. With a bite 10 times stronger than a great white shark, it could snap its jaws 5 times faster than you can blink! Discover its habitat, what it ate and what it was like to live in the shadow of this one-tonne predator until it went extinct at the end of the Age of Fishes.
Collect all eight books about animals we have lost in mass extinctions caused by asteroids or mega-volcanoes, clashing continents and climate change.
Also includes:
* Past brought to full-colour life by palaeoartist Gabriel Ugueto
* Ask an Expert contributions from leading scientists
* Glossary and pronunciation guide

Hardback. [Author], [Publisher]. Author: Professor Ben Garrod Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 128 A comprehensive look at the strongest force in nature. What causes extinction? Why do some species go extinct and not others, and what we can do to save endangered species? A full-colour eight-book series by TV scientist, Professor Ben Garrod, that offers a comprehensive look at the strongest force in nature. What causes extinction? Why do some species go extinct and what we can do to save endangered species? Ben Garrod explores some of the most iconic animals ever to walk, crawl, swim, waddle or stalk our planet. For as long as there have been species, there has been extinction. As many as 99% of species that have ever lived have gone extinct which means we have already lost an almost unbelievable 5 billion species from our planet. Ben Garrod shows how extinction is one of the most complex, interesting and important topics to study in science. Each book will focus on one animal lost to extinction: at their evolution, anatomy, behaviour, habitat and their food chain to reveal what led to their extinction. With 'New Science' and 'Ask the Expert' sections, each book will tell a different extinction story, from mass extinctions caused by asteroids or mega volcanoes, to over-hunting by humans and habitat destruction.
