Some Salient Points in the Science of the Earth
John William, Sir Dawson
World-making, the imperfection of the geological record, the history of the North Atlantic, and the dawn of life: Sir William Dawson takes on the biggest questions the young earth science could ask. Written for the thoughtful reader, it argues its way through deep time with clarity. A Victorian geologist wrestling with how the world and its life began.
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.
