Sinossi
Excerpt from The Cooling Globe: Or the Mechanics of Geology
The two memoirs herewith presented to scholars and thinkers, and intended to be permanent contributions to knowledge, were read before the Boston Society of Nat ural History: the first, at the meeting of Oct. 5, 1859; the last, at the meeting of J an. 4, 1865.
The geological proposition which I have attempted to demonstrate is, that the globe, when first giving birth to life and rudimentary forms, was much larger in all its diameters than now.
When walking in darkness, we step timidly. When the sun rises, we tread boldly. NO doubts now remain in my mind upon the important subject involved in the subsequent discussions.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the mechanics behind the formation of the Earth's surface, drawing on the author's extensive study of geology. It challenges the widely accepted idea that Earth's surface resulted from the planet's expansion and subsequent cooling, instead arguing that it shrank. The author claims that sudden ingulfments and violent shifts in the Earth's surface that have occurred over time are responsible for the planet's physical geography. While acknowledging the discoveries and theories of famous physicists, including Leibnitz and Newton, the author repositions their ideas within the context of his new theory. The book combines decades of research, fieldwork, and contemplation to contribute a new, broad-reaching theory in geology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330607923_0
