Discover the chilling story of Earth’s most devastating mass extinction in The Great Dying: Earth’s Most Catastrophic Mass Extinction. This compelling book explores the Permian–Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago, when nearly all marine life and most land species vanished. It examines the deadly chain of events—from massive Siberian Traps volcanic eruptions to runaway global warming, ocean acidification, and oxygen-starved seas—that triggered an unprecedented ecological collapse. Blending paleontology, geology, and climate science, the book reveals how life nearly ended, why it survived, and what this ancient catastrophe teaches us about resilience, evolution, and today’s environmental challenges.
