Extinction is the ultimate fate of all biological species - over 99 percent of the species that have ever inhabited the Earth are now extinct. The long fossil record of life provides scientists with crucial information about when species became extinct, which species were most vulnerable to extinction, and what processes may have brought about extinctions in the geological past. Key aspects of extinctions in the history of life are here reviewed by six leading palaeontologists, providing a source text for geology and biology undergraduates as well as more advanced scholars. Topical issues such as the causes of mass extinctions and how animal and plant life has recovered from these cataclysmic events that have shaped biological evolution are dealt with. This helps us to view the biodiversity crisis in a broader context, and shows how large-scale extinctions have had profound and long-lasting effects on the Earth's biosphere.

Existe-t-il un lien entre notre rapport à la mort, les représentations que nous formons de celle-ci et la destruction des conditions de la vie sur Terre ? Autrement dit, la difficulté à accepter la mort, qui prend à l'époque moderne la forme d'un véritable déni, n'est-elle pas l'une des sources, l'une des causes de l'incapacité dans laquelle nous sommes aujourd'hui d'habiter notre foyer, la Terre, sans le détruire ? Si le déni de la Terre et le déni de la mort se sont constitués réciproquement et dans un même élan au sein de l'histoire occidentale, c'est réciproquement que doivent se constituer l'acceptation de la Terre comme foyer et l'acceptation de la mort comme horizon indépassable du vivant. C'est à cette condition que nous pourrons établir peu à peu un autre récit de l'anthropocène. Cet ouvrage expose les formes majeures du déni de la mort dans l'histoire du monde occidental et propose une approche écologique de ces grands processus de civilisation.
