Description
Discover the dramatic history of planet Earth and the rocky road to understanding its past. This thought-provoking account explores the lives of those who have attempted to unravel the origins of our planet, from 19th century explorers to natural philosophers.
The book delves into the fascinating history of rock strata and their implications on accepted theories about the Earth's life. It also considers the future of the earth, examining what a repeat of some of the catastrophic events of the past could mean for life today.
