Book Description
Time Matters provides an invaluable 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.
