Scientist Richard Pearson sheds new light on the worldwide challenge of climate change in his book Driven to Extinction: The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity.

Could more than a million species disappear in the 21st century? Driven to Extinction provides balanced, well-reasoned insight into the potential impacts of climate change on the diversity of life. Richard Pearson focuses on what has happened-and what is likely to happen-to some of the world's weirdest and most wonderful species as global temperatures continue to rise.

Richard Pearson is a scientist at the American Museum of Natural History with a Ph.D. from Oxford University. His research has been funded by grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation, and his findings have been published in several scientific journals, including Nature.

The American Museum of Natural History is one of the largest and most respected museums in the world, with millions of visitors each year.
