Where does geology meet the record of human history? Sir John Dawson brings the two together, reading the Earth's strata alongside the story of mankind. Thoughtful, wide-ranging, and eager to reconcile science with the human past. A Victorian effort to bridge the deep time of the rocks and the shorter span of people. Stand at the meeting place of stone and story.

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.
