The Sixth Extinction (Young Readers Adaptation)

Description

在這本改編自《紐約時報》暢銷書、普利策獎得主《第六次滅絕》的青少年讀物中，伊麗莎白·科爾伯特向我們講述了人類為什麽以及如何以一種前所未有的方式改變了地球上的生命。

在過去的5億年裏，地球上發生了五次大滅絕，當時地球上的生命多樣性突然急劇減少。世界各地的科學家正在監測第六次物種滅絕，預計這將是自小行星撞擊導致恐龍滅絕以來最具破壞性的物種滅絕事件。

In this young readers adaptation of the New York Times-bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning The Sixth Extinction, Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before.

Over the last half-billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Adapting from her New York Times-bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning adult nonfiction, Elizabeth Kolbert explores how humans are altering life on Earth.
