Publisher's Synopsis
The Stability of the Earth is a scientific book written by Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and published in 1887. The book discusses the geological history of the Earth and the factors that contribute to its stability. Shaler argues that the Earth's stability is maintained by a delicate balance of natural forces, including the movement of tectonic plates, the circulation of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and the interactions between living organisms and their environment. He also examines the impact of human activities on the Earth's stability, particularly in relation to deforestation, mining, and other forms of resource extraction. The book is written in a clear, accessible style and draws on a wide range of scientific disciplines, including geology, biology, and physics. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Earth's history and the forces that shape our planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
