Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Lyell and Modern Geology The life of Charles Lyell is singularly free from "moving accidents by flood and field." Though he travelled much, he never, so far as can be ascertained, was in danger of life or limb, of brigand or beasts At home his career was not hampered by serious difficulties or blocked by formidable obstacles; not a few circumstances were distinctly favourable to success. Thus his biography cannot offer the reader either the excitement of adventure, or the interest of an unwearied struggle with adverse conditions. But for all that, as it seems to me, it can teach a lesson of no little value. Lyell, while still a young man, determined that he would endeavour to put geology - then only beginning to rank as a science - on a more sound and philosophical basis. To accomplish this purpose, he spared no labour, grudged no expenditure, shrank from no fatigue. For years ho was training himself by observation and travel; he was studiously aiming at precision of thought and expression, till "The Principles of Geology " had been completed and published. But even then, though ho might have counted his work done, he spared no pains to make it better, and went on at the task of improvement till the close of his long life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the key works in the nineteenth-century battle between science and Scripture Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) sought to explain the geological state of the modern Earth by considering the long-term effects of observable natural phenomena. Written with clarity and a dazzling intellectual passion, it is both a seminal work of modern geology and a compelling precursor to Darwinism, exploring the evidence for radical changes in climate and geography across the ages and speculating on the progressive development of life. A profound influence on Darwin, Principles of Geology also captured the imagination of contemporaries such as Melville, Emerson, Tennyson and George Eliot, transforming science with its depiction of the powerful forces that shape the natural world.

Fortunately his father had been for a time a collector, and possessed some good books on entomology, from the pictures in which Charles named his captures. This was, of course, an unscientific method, but it taught him to recognise the species and to know their habits. There are few better localities for lepidoptera, as every collector knows, than the New Forest, and some of the schoolboy's "finds" afterwards proved welcome to so well known an entomologist as Curtis. But when Charles returned to school he had to lay aside, for a season, the new hobby; for in those days a schoolboy's interest in natural history did not extend beyond birds'-nesting, and his little world was not less, perhaps even more frank and demonstrative than now, in its criticism of any innovation or peculiarity on the part of one of its members.The school at Salisbury appears to have been a preparatory one

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Geology, or the Modern Changes of the Earth and Its Inhabitants: Considered as Illustrative of Geology In thus separating the two works, however, I have retained in the Principles (book i.) the discussion of some matters which might fairly be regarded as common to both treatises as for example, an historical sketch of the early progress Of geology, followed by a series of preliminary essays to explain the facts and arguments which lead me to believe that the forces now operating upon and beneath the earth's surface may be the same, both in kind and degree, as those which at remote epochs have worked out geological changes.

Book excerpt: The book Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell is widely considered one of the most influential scientific books of the 19th century. First published in 1830, it presents a detailed overview of the geological processes that have shaped the Earth, and argues for a gradual, uniformitarian explanation of geological phenomena, as opposed to the catastrophism that was popular at the time. Lyell's work was groundbreaking in its insistence on the importance of studying the present-day processes that shape the Earth in order to understand the past. He argued that the Earth's geological features were the result of slow, continuous changes that had been occurring for millions of years - a view that challenged the prevailing belief in sudden and catastrophic events like floods and earthquakes. Principles of Geology went through numerous editions and was widely read by scientists and laypeople alike. Its influence can be seen in the work of other important scientific figures, including Charles Darwin, who cited Lyell's ideas as a key influence on his theory of evolution.
