Australia's mammal extinctions : a 50,000 year history
"Australia's great mammal extinction debate rages on. Close to half the mammal extinctions across the planet over the last two hundred years have been of Australian species. The eighteen species lost include several beautiful wallabies and, of course, the thylacine." "Chris Johnson reviews 50,000 years of Australia's environmental history in search of what really caused these waves of extinction. He has sifted and evaluated a multitude of studies across disciplines ranging from archaeology to ecology. His reasoned conclusion is that despite the great scale and complexity of the extinctions, a single process was responsible for them all."--Jacket
