Written with clarity and a dazzling intellectual passion, it is both a seminal work of modern geology and a compelling precursor to Darwinism, exploring the evidence for radical changes in climate and geography across the ages and speculating on the progressive development of life. A profound influence on Darwin, Principles of Geology also captured the imagination of contemporaries such as Melville, Emerson, Tennyson and George Eliot, transforming science with its depiction of the powerful forces that shape the natural world.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Literary Criticism, Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 1997 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
