Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life History of Our Planet With much of that which is called Popular Science the writer of these pages has no sympathy. To read from pages addressed to the memory only, that the sun is so many miles from the earth, is so many miles in diameter, and is enveloped in whirlwinds of tempestuous fire so fierce that if they could blow upon the earth they would reduce it in a few seconds to a mist of atoms, may help the mind to astronomi cal facts and set it aglow with wonder, but it does not teach it astronomy. To read in similar manner that rocks were formed so, or so; that oceans came to be in this wise or that wise; that continents rose through the play of these forces, or those; that life began in one form or in another, and to read how it unfolded and branched from order to order, may be entertain ing, but it may have little to do with geology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Planet IN writing this volume I have not had any intention of attempt ing to add another to the text-books of geology in the English language. Of these there is already an ample supply. Sir A. Geikie's Text-book of Geology, Professor Prestwich's Geology, and the edition of Phillips' Manual of Geology by Professor H. G. Seeley and Mr. R. Etheridge leave no gap to be filled among works of larger size, while a student not yet ripe for these has ample choice among books on smaller scale, which can be arranged in a graduated series from Mr. Jukes-browne's Handbook to the most elementary Primer.

Download or read book Life written by Richard Fortey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By one of Britain's most gifted scientists: a magnificently daring and compulsively readable account of life on Earth (from the "big bang" to the advent of man), based entirely on the most original of all sources--the evidence of fossils. With excitement and driving intelligence, Richard Fortey guides us from the barren globe spinning in space, through the very earliest signs of life in the sulphurous hot springs and volcanic vents of the young planet, the appearance of cells, the slow creation of an atmosphere and the evolution of myriad forms of plants and animals that could then be sustained, including the magnificent era of the dinosaurs, and on to the last moment before the debut of Homo sapiens. Ranging across multiple scientific disciplines, explicating in wonderfully clear and refreshing prose their findings and arguments--about the origins of life, the causes of species extinctions and the first appearance of man--Fortey weaves this history out of the most delicate traceries left in rock, stone and earth. He also explains how, on each aspect of nature and life, scientists have reached the understanding we have today, who made the key discoveries, who their opponents were and why certain ideas won. Brimful of wit, fascinating personal experience and high scholarship, this book may well be our best introduction yet to the complex history of life on Earth.

Download or read book The Growth of a Planet Classic Reprint written by Edwin Sharpe Grew and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of a Planet In this volume an attempt is made to summarize and link together the modern theories which endeavour to explain the origin, the formation, and the growth of the units of the Solar System. The greater number of these theories, astronomical, physical, geological, geographical, and biological, have been bequeathed to science from the Nineteenth Century; but there are hardly any on which the ideas and discoveries of the last twenty years have not thrown light: and there are some which belong exclusively to the Twentieth Century. The plan followed by the author has been that of dealing with the Sun and the Earth's neighbours among the Planets from the point of view of astronomical and physical theory: and thenceforward of following the course of geological and biological growth on the one planet, the Earth, of which there is any intimate knowledge. In so wide a subject the treatment must often be of an extremely summary character: and the author has kept in view the aim of interpreting clearly and accurately the theories with which he has had to deal rather than that of criticising them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life's Beginning on the Earth The question of the origin of life on our earth is of such fundamental importance that science should make every conceivable effort to solve it even though up to a short time ago very little was known about it. We should realize that the difficulties which we experience in handling this great problem are entirely within ourselves; they are due partly to the incompleteness of our knowledge and partly to the narrowness of the viewpoints which result from our too limited experience. In 1933 I made the following statement in my book, Physical Chemistry of Living Tissues and Life Processes as Studied by Artificial Imitation of Their Single Phases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Life-History of the Earth: A Comprehensive Outline of the Principles and Leading Facts of Palaeontological Science The study of Palaeontology, or the science which is concerned with the living beings which flourished upon the globe during past periods of its history, may be pursued by two parallel but essentially distinct paths. By the one method of inquiry, we may study the anatomical characters and structure Of the innumerable extinct forms Of life which lie buried in the rocks simply as so many organisms, with but a slight and secondary reference to the time at which they lived. By the other method, fossil animals are regarded prin cipally as so many landmarks in the ancient records Of the world, and are studied fiz'sz'om'mlly and as regards their relations to the chronological succession of the strata in which they are entombed. In so doing, it is of course impossible to wholly ignore their structural characters, and their relationships with animals now living upon the earth; but these points are held to occupy a subordinate place, and to require nothing more than a comparatively general attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the Earth In telling the story of this search for the mode by which the earth came into being, we have let the Inci dents that led the Inquiry on from one stage to another fall in with the steps of the inquiry itself. It is in keeping with the purposes of this series of booklets that the motives which set researches a-going should have their place with the quests that arose from them. At any rate, it is clear that the reader will be at some advantage in forming his own judgment of the value of what is offered for his acceptance, if the lines along which the inquiry was approached, the conditions that afi'ected the mental attitude Of the inquirer, and the considerations that weighed in reaching conclusions are laid as frankly before him as the conclusions them selves. The reader will of course choose his own pace, but it were well if it were deliberate. Pictures Of nebulae and nebulous pictures rise slowly into good definition. Besides, the interpretations we ofi'er are tentative; it were well to detain them a little for scrutiny as they pass under review. The final story of the birth of the earth will come only after a time when the vestiges of creation have been more keenly discerned and more faithfully rendered than is possible now.
