About This Item
The first of three volumes on the life of Sir Charles Lyell, a Scottish geologist, is a much-needed and definitive study of one of the giants of geological science. This is a work of heroic proportions in which the author uses Lyell's letters, journals, and notebooks to elucidate his reasoning and to assemble evidence that led to the first truly scientific inquiry into the physical history of our planet. Mr. Wilson has utilized sources never before consulted and amply illustrates the text with 17 maps, photographs, and 52 sketches form Lyell's writings to present a richly detailed picture of the development of Lyell as a man and as a scientist against the background of his times. This is a 1st edition in excellent condition. It contains the stamp of the former owner of the book.
