Key Features • Presents the Earth as a continuously evolving and dynamic planet whose history consists of a succession of vastly different worlds very much unlike our modern Earth. • Discusses the scientific method in Chapter 1, emphasizing how historical geology differs from the standard “scientific method” presented as the paradigm of experimental sciences and of all science. • Bridges traditional historical geology texts by discussing historical information in the context of the interaction and integration of Earth systems through geologic time by using the tectonic (Wilson) cycle as a unifying theme.
