TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level science fun.

Here are the superstars of the story of life, from the super-weird to the super-ferocious. Usually a species has 10 million years or so of evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe doing homework, or even going to the moon before it goes extinct.

Thylacine was super-hunted. Wiped out by humans. The last wild thylacine was shot in 1930, and the last captive one died in 1936. We humans are the only species with the power to eliminate other species from the story of life. But who are the winners and losers?

 
 

Review

A truly gripping and awe-inspiring series of books... An awesome way in which to learn tons and have a great time doing it' - VIP Reading

PRAISE FOR BEN GARROD:

'An accessible, beautifully illustrated book that covers millions of years of natural history by focusing on one particularly deadly predator... I am intrigued to read the other books in the series' Cassie Lawrence, librarian, LoveReading, on Dunkleosteus.

'This was a super book for us to read together... Any budding paleontologists would be poring all over this and relishing the amazing array of facts and illustrations... Well written with clear explanations of some tricky concepts - this is a book we can keep on the bookshelf for years' Toppsta reader review, parent, on Dunkleosteus.

''Wow, this book is absolutely stunning! The illustrations are spectacular in full colour. Alexander really loved this book! Very educational and well written' Toppsta reader review, parent, on Hallucigenia.

'The size and colour of this book made me want to open it straight away... This is a must-have series of books for any school library!'

-- Angela Carr, teacher, LoveReading, on Dunkleosteus
