The Earth'S Beginning

By Robert Stawell Ball

Book Overview

A spark of curiosity, a grander vision of our planet, and the careful storytelling of a Victorian mind brought to life for today. The Earth's Beginning invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to walk a path from early earth origins to cosmology and geology, guided by a humane, engaging voice. This is more than a book; it is a coherent, accessible overview of earth science and its history. Within its pages, the formation of Earth unfolds as a seamless narrative-the geological timeline, the ideas of late nineteenth-century scientists, and explorations that speak to general science readers, students, and thoughtful teachers. The author's approach reads like a respectful conversation, balancing clear explanations with the wonder that once fueled popular science history and darwin era geology. Alpha Editions is proud to reissue this work after decades out of print, restored for today's and future generations. This release is not merely a reprint-it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a tangible link to the period's cosmology and geology debates and a valuable student study guide and teacher resource for geology. For lovers of literature and science, the book offers a precise, vivid look at the earth's origins, inviting readers to ponder our planet's place in a grand, evolving story.
