End of the Megafauna: The Fate of the World’s Hugest, Fiercest, and Strangest Animals

byRoss D E Macphee

End of the Megafauna is Ross D E Macphee's science narrative of the Fate of the World’s Hugest, Fiercest, and Strangest Animals. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
