Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us about Our Future by Peter D. Ward
Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us about Our Future

I hope Peter Ward will take note of the 2nd commenter and have the book carefully proofread prior to reprinting, or have a page of errata inserted into every copy sold. Authors who have important information to get "out there" should realize that they have a huge responsibility to those who would like to use their information to persuade others of the need to take action; in this case, on stemming the tide of biodiversity loss. Information containing errors, no matter how small they might be, can so easily be picked apart and dismissed - particularly by those who are happy with the status quo. Remember that one dirty drop in a bucket of clean water can contaminate the whole lot.
