Sinopsis

'Principles of Geology' by Sir Charles Lyell, is a foundational work in the field of geology. Originally published in the early 1830s, this two-volume set presents a comprehensive inquiry into the geological processes that have shaped the Earth?s surface. Lyell argues that the same gradual processes observable today-erosion, sedimentation, volcanic activity, and earthquakes-have been operating over vast stretches of geological time, a concept known as uniformitarianism. This groundbreaking work challenged prevailing catastrophist theories and significantly influenced the development of modern geology. Lyell?s detailed observations and meticulous reasoning made 'Principles of Geology' an essential text for students and researchers alike. This edition offers readers a chance to engage with a pivotal work that laid the groundwork for understanding the Earth?s dynamic history and its ongoing transformation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
