Synopsis
James Hutton may not have the same name recognition as Copernicus or Darwin, but, as this volume argues, his contribution was equal in importance. Hutton, an 18th-century Scottish geologist, calculated that the Earth, contrary to the Biblical estimate of 6000, was really many millions of years old. Repcheck examines the effect this startling discovery had on society and religion, chronicling Hutton's life and place amid the Scottish Enlightenment.
