Publisher's Synopsis
Geology and Inhabitants of the Ancient World is a book written by Richard Owen and published in 1854. The book explores the geological history of the Earth, focusing on the ancient world and the creatures that inhabited it. Owen was a renowned paleontologist and comparative anatomist who played a key role in the development of evolutionary theory. In this book, he draws on his extensive knowledge of fossils and geology to provide a detailed account of the Earth's history, from its formation to the present day. The book is divided into several sections, each of which examines a different period in Earth's history. Owen describes the geological features of each period, such as the formation of mountains and the changing climate, and discusses the creatures that lived during that time. He provides detailed illustrations of many of these ancient creatures, including dinosaurs, mammoths, and early humans. Throughout the book, Owen emphasizes the importance of understanding the Earth's history in order to better understand the present and future of the planet. Geology and Inhabitants of the Ancient World is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Earth and the creatures that have lived on it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
