The story behind Dr. Gerta Kellers world-shattering scientific discovery that dinosaur extinction was NOT caused by asteroid impact, but rather by volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula, a discovery that highlights todays existential threat of greenhouse gasses and climate changeand one that sparked an all-out war waged by the scientific establishment. Part scientific detective story, part personal odyssey, The Last Extinction is the definitive account of a radical theory that has reshaped how we understand our planets past and, as we face the possibility of a sixth extinction, how we might survive its future. For decades, the dominant theory held that an asteroid impact caused the dinosaurs extinction. But Princeton Geologist Dr. Gerta Keller followed the evidence to the truth: Deccan volcanism, a series of massive volcanic eruptions in India, triggered a long-term climate catastrophe and Earths fifth mass extinction. Her findings upended the field and ignited a bitter feud in modern sciencewhat became known as the Dinosaur Wars. Raised in poverty on a Swiss farm and told she could never be a scientist, Keller defied expectations, earning her PhD at Stanford and battling her way into the highest ranks of Geology, eventually becoming a Professor of Paleontology and Geology at Princeton University. Her refusal to back down in the face of ridicule, sabotage, and sexism makes her story as thrilling as her science, which offers urgent insight into todays climate crisis: Sustained planetary upheavalnot a single cataclysmic eventcan plunge the planet into an age of death.

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La historia detrás del descubrimiento científico de Gerta Keller que sacudió al mundo y que sugiere que la extinción de los dinosaurios no fue causada por el impacto de un asteroide sino por erupciones volcánicas en el subcontinente indio; un hallazgo que destaca la actual amenaza de los gases de efecto invernadero y del cambio climático, y que desencadenó una guerra en la comunidad científica. A medio camino entre el relato científico y el diario personal de la geóloga de Princeton, la doctora Gerta Keller, La última extinción es el relato definitivo de una radical teoría que ha transformado nuestra comprensión del pasado del planeta y que, mientras afrontamos la posibilidad de una sexta extinción, puede ayudarnos a sobrevivir a su desenlace. Durante décadas, la teoría predominante afirmaba que un asteroide había causado la extinción de los dinosaurios. Pero la doctora Keller investigó las pruebas hasta descubrir la verdad: una serie de erupciones volcánicas masivas en India, el vulcanismo del Decán, desencadenó una catástrofe climática de larga duración y la quinta extinción masiva de la Tierra. Sus conclusiones han sacudido el área de investigación y han dado pie a un acerbo conflicto en la ciencia moderna: lo que ha pasado a conocerse como la «Guerra de los dinosaurios». Su negativa a rendirse ante la ridiculización, el sabotaje y el sexismo convierte su historia en un relato tan apasionante como sus indagaciones, que ofrecen una visión urgente sobre la crisis climática actual: una agitación planetaria sostenida ?en vez de un único acontecimiento catastrófico? puede llegar a sumir al planeta en una era de muerte. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
