Description

Discover the remarkable world of the Carboniferous period in this scientifically rigorous exploration by George R. McGhee Jr., published by Columbia University Press. Travel back over 300 million years to witness a planet transformed by colossal arthropods-dog-sized scorpions and millipedes stretching as long as cars-thriving alongside towering rainforests with trees soaring over 150 feet skyward. This comprehensive study unveils how a polar continent five times larger than Antarctica shaped the climate and ecosystems of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age world. McGhee meticulously traces the origins of this ancient biosphere, its catastrophic decline during the end-Permian mass extinction, and the profound biodiversity crisis that reshaped life on Earth. Essential reading for palaeontologists, evolutionary biologists, and science enthusiasts seeking to understand one of the planet's most dramatic geological transitions and its relevance to modern extinction events.

Key Features

McGhee's research examines the Carboniferous period spanning over 300 million years ago, providing detailed scientific insight into Earth's most alien landscape.

Columbia University Press publication delivers academically rigorous analysis of the end-Permian mass extinction, history's greatest biodiversity crisis since animal evolution.

Explores unprecedented Paleozoic fauna including dog-sized scorpions and car-length millipedes that dominated ancient ecosystems during this dramatic geological era.

Investigates how a polar continent five times larger than Antarctica influenced climate patterns and shaped the Late Paleozoic Ice Age world's biological development.
