The Natural History Of The Earth Illustrated, Enlarged, And Defended (1726)

""The Natural History of the Earth: Illustrated, Enlarged, and Defended"" is a book written by John Woodward and published in 1726. The book is a comprehensive study of the geological history of the Earth, covering topics such as the formation of rocks, fossils, and minerals. It contains detailed illustrations and descriptions of various geological formations found around the world, as well as theories on the origins of these formations. Woodward's work was groundbreaking in its time, as it challenged prevailing beliefs about the Earth's age and the processes that shaped its landscape. He argued that the Earth was much older than previously thought, and that geological formations were the result of natural processes such as erosion and sedimentation rather than divine intervention. In addition to his scientific observations, Woodward also defended his theories against criticism from other scholars, making this book an important contribution to the history of geology. Overall, ""The Natural History of the Earth"" is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Earth and the development of geological science.Physical Proofs Of The Existence Of God, His Actual Incessant Concurrence To The Support Of The Universe, And Of All Organical Bodies, Vegetables, And Animals, Particularly Man; With Several Other Papers, On Different Subjects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
