The fate of the species : why the human race may cause its own extinction and how we can stop it / Fred Guterl. by Guterl, Fred. Bloomsbury, 2012. Call #: 576.84 G983f Subjects Nature -- Effect of human beings on.   Nature and civilization.   Environmental degradation.   Extinction (Biology)   Extinct animals.   Human beings. ISBN:  9781608192588 (hc.) 160819258X (hc.) Edition:  1st U.S. ed. Description:  209 p. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 189-197) and index. Summary:  The sixth "mass extinction event" in the history of planet Earth is currently under way, with over two hundred species dying off every day. The cause of this seismic event is also the source of the single biggest threat to human life: our own inventions. Will our immune systems be attacked by so-called super bugs, always evolving, and more easily spread than ever? Will the disappearance of numerous species cripple the biosphere? And if it does, what happens then? In this provocative, gripping book, Scientific American editor Fred Guterl explores these and other looming scenarios in vivid detail-the way they might really happen-and then proffers the means to avoid them.
