  • Life's Dawn on Earth: Being the History of the Oldest Known Fossil Remains, and their relations to Geological Time and to the Development of the Animal Kingdom

Diverse in race, language, religion, and political forms, having no common bond in ... Read more

  • The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science

    by Sir John William Dawson ...
    Have we or can we have any certain solution of those two great questions—Whence are all things? and Whither do all things tend? No thinking man is content to live merely in a transitory present, ever emerging out of darkness and ever returning thither again, without knowing any thing of the origin and issue of the world and its inhabitants. Yet it would seem that to-day men are as much in ... Read more

  • The Meeting-Place of Geology and History

    by Sir John William Dawson ...

The geologist, from his point of view, studies all the stratified crust of the ... Read more
