University of Arizona Press, 1989. - 892 p. ISBN-13: 978-0816511006.
What caused the extinction of so many animals at or near the end of the Pleistocene? Was it overkill by human hunters, the result of a major climatic change or was it just a part of some massive evolutionary turnover? Questions such as these have plagued scientists for over one hundred years and are still being heatedly debated today. "Quaternary Extinctions" presents the latest and most comprehensive examination of these questions.
