Time and Change

"Time and Change" is a 1912 work on geology by American naturalist John Boroughs. Within it, Burroughs explores the beauty and science behind the history of the Earth in the masterful way for which he is famous. John Burroughs (1837 - 1921) was an American naturalist, essayist, and active member of the U.S. conservation movement. Burroughs' work was incredibly popular during his lifetime, and his legacy has lived on in the form of twelve U.S. Schools named after him, Burroughs Mountain, and the John Burroughs Association-which publicly recognizes well-written and illustrated natural history publications. Other notable works by this author include: "Winter Sunshine" (1875), "Birds and Poets" (1877), and "Locusts and Wild Honey" (1879). Contents include: "The Long Road", "The Divine Abyss", "The Spell Of The Yosemite", "Through The Eyes Of The Geologist", "Holidays In Hawaii", "The Old Ice-flood", "The Friendly Soil", "Primal Energies", "Scientific Faith", "The Worm Striving To Be Man", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
