The Ancient Life History of the Earth
Henry Alleyne Nicholson
The rocks hold a record of life stretching back beyond imagining, and Henry Nicholson reads it chapter by chapter. He works through the aqueous rocks and the fossils they preserve to tell the earth's ancient story. A clear Victorian survey of paleontology and deep time. For anyone drawn to the long history written in stone, a fine guided tour.
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.
