Charles Lyell taught the world to read the earth's age in its rocks, and T. G. Bonney tells how. This life follows Lyell from childhood and Cambridge to the work that founded modern geology and paved the way for Darwin. A clear biography of a quiet revolutionary. For readers curious how the deep history of the planet first came into focus.

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.
