The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions

byPeter Brannen

The Ends of the World examines volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions, combining Peter Brannen's clear narrative with the perspective of a science narrative. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of nature and science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
