About this product

Product Information

65 million years ago, a comet or asteroid no larger than Mount Everest fell from outer space and hit the Earth's surface. The environmental disasters that followed brought about the mass extinction of vast numbers of animal and plant species, among them the great carnivorous dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hotly disputed among the scientific community, the impact theory was vindicated when, in 1991, a massive crater buried beneath the Yucatan Peninsula was redisovered by Alvarez. This text discusses the thoery as Alvarez searches for evidence of the cataclysmic impact.

  • Absolutely compelling evidence that an extraterrestrial object crashed into the planet and killed off the dinosaurs.

    This is an amazing book about how the dinosaurs met their end in an unexpected catastrophe emanating from outer space. Completely by chance, but a reminder that life on our planet is so fragile. Our species just doesn't appreciate how very special and how how very lucky we are. Read this book!
