Description:
"Jack Repcheck's brief account of Hutton's life is told with the charm of a besotted admirer. . . . Stephen Baxter's altogether meatier biography sets out the Enlightenment context of Hutton's work and lucidly describes his ideas." --London Sunday Times "Hutton more or less invented the earth sciences and the modern understanding of geology, and laid the foundations for Darwin's work over the next few decades . . . Baxter takes an unwavering and mostly sympathetic look at his life and ideas." --Focus "Baxter is [an] eloquent storyteller."--The Scotsman "Baxter . . . make[s] the best of this background, with the result [a] readable introduction to the life, times and geology of James Hutton." --New Scientist
