Hutton backs his sweeping theory with evidence in this second volume, piling up field observations of strata, veins, and worn mountains to prove the earth's slow cycles. Demanding but foundational, it is deep time argued from the ground up. Follow the case that time on earth is effectively without limit. Weigh Hutton's proofs for yourself.
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.
