Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, an early geological treatise, presents a series of foundational principles that remain central to the science of geology. The author, a Danish scientist, not only laid out the process of scientific inquiry and observation that would become the basis of modern geology, but also made observations regarding fossils, the formation of rock layers, and the processes of erosion that were revolutionary for his time. His focus on empirical evidence and inductive reasoning set the stage for later scientists to build upon his work, and his ideas continue to inform our understanding of the Earth's history and the processes that have shaped it.
