From the original catalog copy: Geologists, historians, paleontologists, and philosophers re-examine the controversial scientific doctrine of uniformitarianism which shattered 19th century scientific orthodoxy and religious dogma and which today in the 20th century still rouses heated debate. Their critique recounts the origins and questions the validity of Sir Charles Lyell's Principle of Uniformity. This book will interest not only professional geologists, biologists, and philosophers and historians of science but also laymen who want to understand the issues in the lively controversy over Catastrophe versus Uniformity in Nature.
