Peter Ward, a distinguished paleontologist and author of five trade books, recreated, in dramatic and colorful language, the global environment of the end of the last great Ice Age. The last of the great woolly mammoths existed on Wrangel Island thousands of years after their extinction elsewhere on earth. Ward examines competing theories about the courses of the great extinction and considers in detail the role of human settlements on these events.
