The Nemesis Affair: A Story of the Death of Dinosaurs and the Ways of Science

In a few million years, Nemesis, the companion star to our sun will complete its orbit, bombarding our solar system with comets, some of which will be deflected toward Earth. Such a "large-body impact" might well extinguish humanity. In this stimulating work, updated with the latest scientific evidence, the controversies of the Nemesis theory are re-explored and the issues of mass extinction are re-investigated.
