Includes bibliographical references (p. [216]-218) and index.
Eldredge argues that the Earth confronts a disaster in the making--an ecological crisis that, if left unresolved, could ultimately lead to mass extinction on the scale of that which killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Writing for general readers, he takes readers on a journey that reveals the twin faces of biodiversity. 36 line illustrations. 2 maps.
