SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Time Matters provides an insight into the background behind some of the key concepts we use in Earth science today. It shows the historical context in which these ideas were developed, the important contributions of individual scientists and thinkers, and how these ideas continue to shape our view of science and the world in which we live." "The book covers subjects such as the age of the earth, catastrophism vs. uniformitarianism, evolution vs. creationism, plutonism vs. neptunism, continental drift and plate tectonics. It explores the people involved, their ideas and the scientific and religious power politics involved in the development. It is effectively partly a review of the way in which science works or does not work. The text includes questions and comment boxes which help the reader to appreciate/understand the ideas and concepts that have been included and their problems, strengths or weaknesses."--BOOK JACKET
