- <p><em>65 Million Years Ago: The Moment That Ended the Dinosaur Era</em> is a sweeping narrative of the day Earth changed foreverーand of the long, uneasy aftermath that reshaped life on the planet. Beginning in the lush Late Cretaceous, the book immerses readers in a thriving world of towering dinosaurs, rich coastal ecosystems, and oceans powered by microscopic plankton. Then, with scientific clarity and cinematic detail, it reconstructs the sudden arrival of the Chicxulub impactor: the blinding collision, the shock waves, the mega-tsunami, and the global fallout that turned Earth's sky into a weapon.</p> <p>But this is not only a story of destruction. It is a detective story written in stone. Drawing on fossils, iridium-rich boundary clays, shocked minerals, climate proxies, drilling cores, and modern modeling, the book reveals how scientists uncovered the evidence for a catastrophe hidden for millions of years. It explains why the Yucat?n's sulfur-rich rocks made the impact uniquely lethal, how "impact winter" collapsed food webs on land and at sea, and why fire, acid rain, and darkness combined into a cascade of extinction.</p> <p>Finally, the book follows survival and recovery: why birds endured as the last living dinosaurs, how mammals expanded from small, shadow-dwelling generalists into the dominant land animals, and how forests and oceans slowly rebuilt over millions of years. Blending deep-time storytelling with modern insight, it closes with a sobering, hopeful message about planetary fragility, resilience, and what Chicxulub teaches us about risk on a living world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
