This is turning out to be a good book for an overview. A bit dated, perhaps, since it was published in 1997, but I strongly recommend it.
I've been marking up my book for outtakes. I'll have them posted in the next few days. Let's say that I've been convinced that the KT Event was an impact extinction. There's a lot of very convincing evidence (floral even too!) that I was not aware of above and beyond. There are some other extinction events that are interesting too.
A quick note, after the Devonian Extinctions, the authors state, there was a very long period of no mass extinctions until the Permian Whammo:120 my. The ecologies changed greatly between Point A and Point B even without a mass extinction.
