Brief description: Michael Gross (OXFORD, UK) is a science writer who has published in Current Biology and other publications. He is the coauthor of Astrobiology: A Brief Introduction and the translator and editor of Lust and Love: Is It More than Chemistry?
Review Quotes: Nestled near the middle of Intertwined is the cleverly and chillingly titled chapter, "This Time, the Asteroid Is Us," which warns that the next mass extinction event on Earth will likely be of our own doing. Science writer Gross elucidates how human activity is increasingly disruptive and destructive to the planet's biosphere, in which ecosystems are extensively connected.
