In this book, Cherry Lewis skilfully blends the history of gauging
the age of the earth with a biography of Arthur Holmes, a British
geologist who was a pioneer of geochronology. When it was deeply
unfashionable to do so in the early twentieth century, he spent
many years trying to prove the great antiquity of the earth,
stating that it was 'perhaps a little indelicate to ask of our
Mother Earth her age, but Science acknowledges no shame'. Both
fascinating and touching, this book appeals to a broad readership
of both geologists and science enthusiasts.
