In this first of three volumes, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) sets forth his powerful uniformitarian argument: processes now visibly acting in the natural world are essentially the same as those that have acted throughout the history of the earth, and are sufficient to account for all geological phenomena. Martin J. S. Rudwick's new Introduction, summarizing the origins of the Principles, guides the reader through the structure of the entire three-volume first edition and considers the legacy of Lyell's great work. -- from back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As important to modern world views as any work of Darwin, Marx, or Freud, Lyell's Principles of Geology has never before been available in paperback. In the second of three volumes, Lyell (1797-1875) continues his uniformitarian argument of Volume I—the physical features of the earth are endlessly fluctuating around a stable mean—but focuses on organic rather than inorganic processes. Volume II is widely known because of its influence on Darwin, who took the book on his famous Beagle voyage and was stimulated by Lyell's extensive treatment of biological history and diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principles of Geology" is a significant work written by Sir Charles Lyell, a Scottish geologist. The book was first published in three volumes between 1830 and 1833. Charles Lyell's "Principles of Geology" is considered one of the foundational texts in the field of geology and played a crucial role in shaping modern geological thought. In the book, Lyell presents a comprehensive overview of the geological processes that shape the Earth's crust. He introduces the concept of uniformitarianism, which suggests that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the present also operated in the past. This idea contrasts with the earlier notion of catastrophism, which proposed that major geological changes were primarily caused by sudden and violent events. "Principles of Geology" had a profound influence on the scientific community, including Charles Darwin, who later cited Lyell's work in the development of his theory of evolution. The book laid the groundwork for a more scientific and systematic approach to understanding Earth's history and processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1833, Charles Lyell published the final volume of his pioneering trilogy, which Charles Darwin took with him on the Beagle. In it, Lyell describes the composition of the Earth's crust, examines shell fossils, and explains rock stratification, separating geological formations into three periods - primary, secondary and tertiary. He chastises his fellow geologists for preferring to speculate on the possibilities of the past rather than exploring the realities of the present, and shows his readers the importance of testing the validity of scientific claims. Lyell expertly integrates this book with the two earlier volumes, extending his interpretation of his geological findings from his research in Europe, especially at Mount Etna. Volume 3 consists of 26 chapters, a comprehensive index and 93 woodcut illustrations of different rock formations. Lyell writes with infectious enthusiasm, conveying the excitement of his discoveries in this landmark book.

Book excerpt: This is a book by the Scottish Geologist Charles Lyell, first published in 3 volumes in 1830-1833.Lyell used geology throughout as a basis to strengthen his argument for Uniformitarianism. He used geological proof to determine that the Earth was older than 6,000 years, as had been previously contested. The book shows that the processes that are occurring in the present are the same processes that occurred in the past. The book is notable for being one of the first to use the term "evolution" in context of biological speciation. If you need to know the nitty-gritty of what the field of Geology is all about, the knowledge of the former changes of the earth, proofs, arguments and counter- arguments and various subjects as regarding how the earth was formed- then this book is for you. In this volume, you will learn:- CHANGES OF THE ORGANIC WORLD NOW IN PROGRESS -TRANSMUTATION OF SPECIES- - WHETHER SPECIES HAVE A REAL EXISTENCE IN NATURE. - LAWS WHICH REGULATE THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIES - THEORIES RESPECTING THE ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION OF SPECIES - EXTINCTION OF SPECIES.-CHANGES IN THE STATIONS OF ANIMALS -EXTINCTION OF SPECIES.-INFLUENCE OF INORGANIC CAUSES -EXTINCTION AND CREATION OF SPECIES - EFFECTS PRODUCED BY THE POWERS OF VITALITY ON THE STATE OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE -INCLOSING OF FOSSILS IN PEAT, BROWN SAND, AND VOLCANIC EJECTIONS - BURYING OF FOSSILS IN ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS AND IN CAVES -IMBEDDING OF ORGANIC REMAINS IN SUBAQUEOUS DEPOSITS -IMBEDDING OF THE REMAINS OF MAN AND HIS WORKS IN SUBAQUEOUS STRATA -.
