"An extraordinary ecological and social survey of North American history from the death of the dinosaurs to the present day. Flannery sythesizes a tremendous amount of research on many topics and manages to maintain a lively narrative rich in detail. This book is filled with the sort of environmental trivia that will enliven any cocktail party conversation, even as it informs a fresh perspective on old arguments such as whether clovis point hunters played a role in the demise of the mammoth, or what makes a species invasive."
"Entirely disappointing. Flannery doesn't hide his distaste for Americans, and for good measure, any human occupant of North America. The first few chapters are insightful, beyond that it's mostly op-ed."
