Información de la editorial

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 this third and final volume, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) devotes much attention to the "syntax of geology," that is, to a way of reconstructing the geological past on the basis of the "grammar" of the present processes he has described in the earlier volumes. He defines four periods of the Tertiary-Newer Pliocene, Older Pliocene, Miocene, and Eocene-and argues that the deposits dating from each period demonstrate the uniformity of processes and environments throughout the Tertiary, and indeed in earlier periods of earth history. Martin J. S. Rudwick has compiled a bibliography giving full references for the sources Lyell cites in all three volumes of the Principles.

Primera línea

Connexion between the subjects treated of in the former parts of this work and those to be discussed in the present volume-Erroneous assumption of the earlier geologists respecting the discordance of the former and actual causes of change-Opposite system of inquiry adopted in this work-Illustrations from the history of the progress of Geology of the respective merits of the two systems-Habit of indulging conjectures respecting irregular and extraordinary agents not yet abandoned-Necessity in the present state of science of prefixing to a work on Geology treatises respecting the changes now in progress in the animate and inanimate world.
