James Hutton looked at rocks and saw no beginning and no end, only endless cycles of erosion, deposit, and uplift. His Theory of the Earth founded modern geology and deep time itself. This first volume lays out the revolutionary argument that shaped everything after. Read the book that gave the planet its true, immense age.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
