Riley Black: Last Days of the Dinosaurs (2022, St. Martin's Press) 4 stars

Fascinating and informative book. I loved the emphasis on the role of chance in biological history, the idea that no species or ecosystem is inevitable. Following a single location through time across the extinction event allowed for a great look at change. Could probably have used one more pass by an editor, but I still easily recommend it to anyone interested.
