How is our fate linked to the earth's creatures, and the cycle of flourishing and extinction? Which are the simple workings of nature's order, and which are omens of ecological disaster? Does human activity accelerate extinction? What really causes it? In an illuminating and elegantly written account of the widespread reduction of the world's wildlife, renowned paleontologist Niles Eldredge poses these questions and examines humankind's role in the larger life cycles of the earth, composing a provocative general theory of extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niles Eldredge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691036551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691036557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.48w x 0.69d","brand":"Niles Eldredge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925602861311,"sku":"9780691036557","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_07e8529b-81bb-4418-b90f-3390155ec8d7.jpg?v=1681078249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-miners-canary-niles-eldredge-9780691036557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
