«Uitsterven» is Steven M. Stanley's popular science essay, published by Natuur & Techniek in hardback (237 pages, in Dutch).
Steven M. Stanley studies the mass extinctions of animals and plants during Earth's evolution. He uses the geological and fossil record to explain their causes: climate changes, meteorite impacts, and processes that, after each catastrophe, opened the way to new biological cycles; a past that resonates in the loss of biodiversity.
Published in 1989. The original subtitle, «Rampen markeren elk nieuw begin», alludes to the central idea that catastrophes open new cycles.
For readers interested in paleontology, evolution, and popular science about the history of life on Earth.
