Cataclysms A New Geology For The Twenty First Century

In 1980, the science world was stunned when a maverick team of researchers proposed that a massive meteor strike had wiped the dinosaurs and other fauna from the Earth 66 million years ago. Scientists found evidence for this theory in a “crater of doom”on the Yucatan Peninsula that showed our planet has been the target in a galactic shooting gallery. Seeking to develop “neocatastrophism” even further, Michael R. Rampino adds to this exciting field in Cataclysms, building on the latest findings from leading geoscientists.
