Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future
Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future – Review
Although I understand his hypothesis and believe what he is really saying is quite possible, I think the book is poorly written. His logic is often difficult to follow, mostly because of the rambling, disconnected style. The combination of private stories of his geology field trips, the research act of others, accounts of the science and scenarios of what he believes very happened or will happen are extremely confusing. The book could definitely use some currently editing is both the way it is simply put together and in his wording. A wording error I remember is his currently using “acres squared” when he obviously means “square kilometers”. There are a lot more. If you what to understand what Ward is really saying, read his article “Impact from the Deep” in the October 2006 issue of Scientific American. It’s available on the internet without pictures, or the magazine should still be in most great library archives. It’s certainly shorter and makes a lot more sense.
