Sinossi
Excerpt from The Changeful Earth: An Introduction to the Record of the Rocks
SO much attention is now given to the practical and systematic study of science in schools, that the valuable influence of descriptive scientific literature is apt to be overlooked. An intimate knowledge of the simplest fact in Nature can be Obtained only by personal observation or experiment in the Open air or the laboratory, but broad views of scientific thought and progress are secured best from books in which the methods and results of investigation are stated in language which is simple without being childish.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a fresh look at the history of the Earth and its vast periods of change, as observed through the rocks and fossils that litter its surface. The author argues that man has a responsibility to learn about and appreciate the planet he inhabits and that the knowledge in this book can help us do just that. Along the way, the author shares the stories of key individuals who have helped us better understand our geological history, including the Danish scientist Nicolaus Steno and the English engineer William Smith, whose work helped to establish a better understanding of the movement and formation of the Earth's crust. This book explores the truly remarkable changes that have occurred on the surface of the earth throughout its long history, changes that continue even now, albeit at a much slower pace. This book is an engaging read for anyone interested in the field of geology or the natural world.
