This book promises to be more comprehensive if not so focused on mass extinctions. A great read.

Author does not make much of the greatest extinction event of all, but covers the evolution of the continents very well.

He says "The Earth will be fine. The people, maybe not!"

...Which tries to condense the entire history of the World in one (1) hour (or was it two ?). A lush ecosystem wiped away when the Earth was completely covered by ice, periods when there was no ice in the polar seas, and mass extinction events. Homo Sapiens represents just a tiny blip in the history of the planet. Who is to say that intelligent, technological species have not previously evolved on Earth and disappeared again under the weight of time.
