For most of history, people trusted mythology or religion to
provide an answer to the pressing question of the earth's age, even
though nature abounds with clues. In "A Natural History of Time",
geophysicist Pascal Richet tells the fascinating story of how
scientists and philosophers examined those clues and from them
built a chronological scale that has made it possible to
reconstruct the history of nature itself. The quest for time is a
story of ingenuity and determination, and like a geologist, Pascal
Richet carefully peels back the strata of that history, giving us a
chance to marvel at each layer and truly appreciate how far our
knowledge - and our planet - have come.
