Roderick Murchison was a retired soldier. Charles Lapworth was a schoolteacher. It was their personal and intellectual rivalry, pursued on treks through Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Devon and parts of western Russia, that revealed the narrative structure of the Paleozoic Era, the 300-million-year period during which life on Earth became recognisably itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick Davidson follows in their footsteps and draws on maps, diaries, letters, field notes and contemporary accounts to bring the ideas and characters alive. But this is more than a history of geology. As we travel through some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain, it's a celebration of the sheer visceral pleasure generations of geologists have found, and continue to find, in noticing the earth beneath our feet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JUST BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42945492516979,"sku":"9781788163781","price":128.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/910Ezi2L3RS._SL1500.jpg?v=1756967366","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781788163781","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
