这是对生命史上重大灭绝事件的系统回顾。它涵盖了所有已经灭绝的生物体——植物、动物、陆地和海洋——以及生物危机期间环境变化的地质和沉积学证据。所有提出的灭绝机制——气候变化、陨石撞击、火山活动——都经过严格评估。在本文中，恐龙的灭亡被置于其他灭绝事件的适当背景中。本书面向学习地质学、古生物学或进化生物学的欧洲本科生和美国研究生及其老师。相关学科的研究科学家也应该对此感兴趣。
This is a systematic review of the major mass extinctions in the history of life. It covers all groups of organisms - plant, animal, terrestrial, and marine - that have become extinct alongside the geological and sedimentological evidence for environmental changes during the biotic crises. All proposed extinction mechanisms - climate change, meteorite impact, volcanisms - are critically assessed. In this text the demise of the dinosaurs is put into the proper context of other extinction events. This book is intended for undergraduates in Europe and graduate students in the US, studying geology, palaeontology, or evolutionary biology, and their teachers. It should also be of interest to research scientists in adjacent subjects.
