Otherlands : journeys in Earth's extinct ecosystems / Thomas Halliday.

Summary:

"This book is an exploration of the Earth as it used to exist, the changes that have occurred during its history, and the ways that life has found to adapt - or not. Paleobiologist Thomas Halliday offers us a vast perspective on the current state of the planet. Halliday illustrates how ecosystems are formed; how species die out and are replaced; and how species migrate, adapt, and collaborate. A surprisingly emotional narrative about the persistence of life, the fragility of seemingly permanent ecosystems, and the scope of deep time."--Provided by the publisher.
