Extinct Giants

The book progresses systematically, starting with an introduction to gigantism and its drivers. It then investigates the marine environment, focusing on giant sharks and marine reptiles, before shifting to land to explore gigantic mammals like the woolly mammoth. Finally, it examines the extinction events that wiped out many of these giants, evaluating the roles of climate change and human activity.

The book presents information from paleontology, geology, and evolutionary biology in an accessible style, avoiding technical jargon and explaining complex concepts clearly, making it valuable to those interested in Earth Sciences, Biology, and prehistoric life.
