Riley Black’s depiction of the slow violence of near-apocalypse is so powerful. I can already recommend this book to casual readers. It’s an engaging and jargon-free journey through the fall of the dinosaurs and the ascent of mammals, and honours the loss of the extinct species as much as the resilience of the survivors (to whom we, of course, owe the evolution of our own species).

A poetic ode to the former custodians of our ancient planet—more elegiac nature doco than scientific treatise, and perhaps stronger for it. Black paints a picture of life and death with a beautiful framing emphasising the resilience of life in the face of the uncontrollable whims of the cosmos.
