In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, scientists reconstructed the immensely long history of the earth—and the relatively recent arrival of human life. The geologists of the period, many of whom were devout believers, agreed about this vast timescale. But despite this apparent harmony between geology and Genesis, these scientists still debated a great many questions: Had the earth cooled from its origin as a fiery ball in space, or had it always been the same kind of place as it is now? Was prehuman life marked by mass extinctions, or had fauna and flora changed slowly over time?

The first detailed account of the reconstruction of prehuman geohistory, Martin J. S. Rudwick’s Worlds Before Adam picks up where his celebrated Bursting the Limits of Time leaves off. Here, Rudwick takes readers from the post-Napoleonic Restoration in Europe to the early years of Britain’s Victorian age, chronicling the staggering discoveries geologists made during the period: the unearthing of the first dinosaur fossils, the glacial theory of the last ice age, and the meaning of igneous rocks, among others. Ultimately, Rudwick reveals geology to be the first of the sciences to investigate the historical dimension of nature, a model that Charles Darwin used in developing his evolutionary theory.

Featuring an international cast of colorful characters, with Georges Cuvier and Charles Lyell playing major roles and Darwin appearing as a young geologist, Worlds Before Adam is a worthy successor to Rudwick’s magisterial first volume. Completing the highly readable narrative of one of the most momentous changes in human understanding of our place in the natural world, Worlds Before Adam is a capstone to the career of one of the world’s leading historians of science.

レビュー

"Like its predecessor, Worlds Before Adam is the product of painstaking research. It appears dauntingly long but is a delight to read. Rudwick's style is lucid and engaging throughout, and he is unfailingly courteous to his nonspecialist readers, ensuring that all terms and concepts are fully explained and avoiding unnecessary jargon. The book's strictly chronological arrangement gives it a strong narrative thrust, and its many beautifully printed illustrations and generous quotations from original sources enhance the sense of primary contact with the evidence. . . . In these two graceful and judicious volumes, the culmination of a distinguished career, Rudwick has restored geology to its rightful historical place at the heart of modern scientific culture."

--Ralph O'Connor "Science" (9/12/2008 12:00:00 AM)

"Magisterial...A thoroughly engaging and utterly sympathetic treatment of the notable figures who laid the foundation for modern geology in the period between 1820 and 1845, their inspirations and intellectual triumphs, and their stubbornly held misconceptions....With their highly individualistic flair and immense erudition, this volume and its predecessor are not just essential reading for any scientist; they are also landmark volumes in the history of ideas and a brilliant scholarly achievement."

--Keith Thomson "Times Higher Education" (7/24/3008 12:00:00 AM)

" Both [Rudwick's] books, indeed, read like Dickens novels; take time to read them at leisure and they will enrich your life. . . . For those who have read Bursting the Limits of Time, Worlds Before Adam probably needs no recommendation, since it maintains the same high standards. For those who haven't, Worlds Before Adam might whet their appetite to read Bursting the Limits of Time. I hope this latest book will also attract the attention of many people from outside the Earth sciences, who thus can become aware of the fascination of geological discoveries." --Cor F. Winkler Prins, Geological Journal--Cor F. Winkler Prins "Geological Journal"

"Worlds before Adam is at once an important synthesis, a brilliant essay which bestows an immense scholarship upon an original and well-carried argument, and an elegantly written and composed book as pleasant to read as a novel. It will also stand as a reference book, easy to consult by anyone professionally or personally interested in geology and palaeontology and their historical and epistemological implications."--Claudine Cohen "British Journal for the History of Science"

"Worlds Before Adam is rich and thought-provoking."--Brenda Maddox "Literary Review" (10/1/2008 12:00:00 AM)

"A work of such excellence as to recommend it to anyone."--Paul D. Brinkman "Reports of the National Center for Science Education"

"An ultimate source of knowledge on the history of geoscience in the early XIX century. . . . This book looks as classical as those old works by Buckland or Lyell discussed in its text. The reviewer recommends Rudwick's book for everyone in geology and palaeontology."--D.A. Ruban "Zentralblatt fuer Geologie und Palaontologie"

"Any student of paleontology or geology will need this book, if he or she is at all interested in the history of the science. . . . Rudwick has captuired the essence of the Age of Enlightenment, and the reader is left with a sense of the age in which these scientists were working, their difficulties, and the immensity of their discoveries."--Greg Sweatt "Fossil News"

"Despite its length and the complexity of its subject, the book is wonderfully easy to read. Rudwick has a rare gift for talking neither down to nor over the head of the non-specialist reader: no prior knowledge of geology or its history is required and readers in a hurry will appreciate the clear summaries of 'the story so far' with which each of the thirty-six short and snappy chapters concludes. The story retains its fascination right up to the last page."--Ralph O'Connor "History Today" (11/1/2008 12:00:00 AM)

"Rudwick's account follows on from his magisterial Bursting the Limits of Time, which painted an unrivalled portrait of geology's first days as a tardy arrival to the high table of respectable sciences. . . . Rudwick's book is a culmination of forty years of research into the history of geology, and seals his reputation as the doyen of the subject. His writing is always clear, often entertaining, unrelentingly scholarly, and, appropriately enough for geology, he leaves no stone unturned. . . . Any reader interested in the development of the concept of geological time should read Martin Rudwick's book--one could argue that the awareness of deep time has changed human perception of our place in the cosmos more than any other discovery. "--Richard A. Fortey "Times Literary Supplement" (10/15/2008 12:00:00 AM)

"Rudwick's books are myth-busters. . . . Rudwick highlights an underappreciated, glorious advance in human thought, the documentation of which is a rather glorious achievement itself."--Victor R. Baker "Nature" (7/24/2008 12:00:00 AM)

"We take for granted that Earth has a deep history divided into eras such as the Mesozoic, with its monstrous dinosaurs and catastrophic meteoroid impacts. But when and how was this geohistorical narrative established? This book, the sequel to Bursting the Limits of Time, is a masterly exploration of the nineteenth-century roots of this particular scientific revolution. Here Rudwick shows how scientists such as Georges Cuvier, William Buckland and Charles Lyell first revealed and then reconstructed a narrative for the Earth based on direct observation of rocks and fossils."--Douglas Palmer "New Scientist"

Wonderful background on development of geological concepts

2012年2月29日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This is a truly facinating guide through the development of geologic concepts during the period from the Napoleanic Wars to the early 1840s. It is illustrated with many well-reproduced figures from the period covered. I would recommend it heartily to others like me who love geology but have never had the opportunity to study it, and I would think it would provide fascinating insight for the professional geologist who wants to learn more about the early days of his or her profession.
It follows naturally from the author's "Bursting the Limits of Time," which I think one should read before this. The book is beautiful. I cannot believe the publisher is making any money at the sales price.

Escape to 1789 - 1845

2010年8月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

`Bursting the Limits of Time' & 'Worlds Before Adam' by Martin J. S. Rudwick

In 1793 savant Jean-Andre de Luc stated "I do not believe I should be accused of longueur, by those who recognize that I am here tracing - from its monuments - the fundamental basis of the ancient history of Men, since it concerns their habitation". Author Martin Rudwick comments that "after a good start [de Luc] soon relapsed into his customary verbosity". In fairness after these 708 and 614 page tomes, Rudwick is in no position to thus accuse anyone. De Luc went on to discuss erratic boulders perched high on hills and across plains; lakes acting as natural `chronometers' as they had not yet been silted up by incoming sediment; and subterranean caverns which opened to contain the water required to reduce sea level at various geological times; and so on.

Books like these are rare. For those who want an escape from professional work, family, politics, or the stock exchange these are the ticket. An escape to the intellectual world of 1789 - 1823 and 1820 - 1845 respectively. Absorbed in the historical geological debate with the `savants' of the day we can feel, with the benefit of hindsight, either how hopelessly wrong or spectacularly correct the intellectual speculation can be about honest observations.

These are not books to be read rapidly like a novel. They are an escape to ponder 10 - 15 pages at a time whenever possible, hoping never to come to the end. They allow the reader to live the discovery of geology. We can wonder how and why the author devoted so much time to produce the two tomes. But it was not in vain. Often scientists who achieve breakthroughs personally engender a school of acolytes who develop the new field further.The reason is that learning from a master shows how a discovery was made not just what the discovery was. Perhaps Rudwick's books do this for geology - we understand how the field developed not just the bare results.

A Livelier Sequel

2013年4月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Although the previous volume of this series (Bursting the Limits of Time) is full of excellent research, I thought it failed to bring the subject alive as Rudwick's earlier The Meaning of Fossils had. Worlds Before Adam is livelier, perhaps because it deals more with paleontology, Rudwick's profession, than the first volume, perhaps because it was edited a bit more energetically. (Anyway, it is shorter.) Together they make a classic that anyone who wants to understand the mingled histories of geology and paleontology in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries should read.

Shame on University of Chicago Press

2012年3月11日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I am rating this book for its physical, not intellectual, properties. Owning a hardbound copy of Rudwick's "Bursting the limits of time", I decided to purchase a hardbound copy of "Worlds before Adam", expecting (silly me) to get a comparable quality book since it is a continuation of the first book. In "Bursting..." the pages are sewn, in "Worlds..." they aren't. "Bursting..." has a dust jacket over a fairly thick cardboard cover. "Worlds..." has no dust jacket, the 'cover' being imprinted on scratchable, flimsier cardboard. Although similar in number of pages "Bursting..." is heftier and noticeably thicker than "Worlds...". Shame on University of Chicago Press for such a downgrade in midstream.

Concludes the two-volume set

2009年11月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This volume is the second volume in a two-volume set, the first being the author's "Bursting the Limits of Time" which I have reviewed separately. Like the other it is physically heavy and makes for fairly slow, but worthwhile, reading.

This volume continues the story through the first half of the 19th century when the field of geology attained a certain degree of maturity. While I still found the story fascinating, this volume tended to be unnecessarily repetitive, at least partly because the author's habit of recapping a chapter caused the shorter chapters in this volume to have a larger fraction of recaps (called "conclusions"). It would have been an easier and shorter read if some of the repetition were omitted.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot and particularly enjoyed the environment which the field of geology developed which turned out to be the setting for Darwin a few years later. (Darwin does appear in the book, as a geologist!) Definitely recommended; just not as good as the first volume.
