Tim Flannery's 'The Eternal Frontier' is the gound-breaking sequel to 'The Future Eaters', which changed the way we think about ecological history. Now Flannery tells the astonishing story of North America from the day 64 million years ago when a meteor ten kilometeres wides smashed into the Gulf of Mexico, ending the age of dinosaurs and devastating the continent.

As he traces the rebirth of North America's animals, plants, climate and landforms, Flannery ranges from Alaska in the frozen north to Panama in the tropical south. He describes giant carnivorous bears and the rainforests that covered Greenland. He discovers how the New England fall and the cactus deserts of Sonora were shaped by the same forces.

'The Eternal Frontier' is a major work of international popular science, an epic and enthralling book.
