Stellar Evolution: And Its Relations To Geological Time (1889) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120867322)

Stellar Evolution: And Its Relations To Geological Time is a book written by James Croll and originally published in 1889. The book explores the relationship between the evolution of stars and the geological history of the Earth. Croll was a Scottish scientist who was known for his work on climate change and the astronomical causes of ice ages.In the book, Croll examines the processes by which stars evolve and change over time. He also looks at the ways in which these changes can be observed and measured, and how they relate to the geological history of the Earth. Croll argues that the evolution of stars has had a profound impact on the development of life on Earth, and that understanding this relationship is essential to understanding the history and future of our planet.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of stellar evolution and its relationship to geological time. Topics covered include the structure and composition of stars, the life cycle of stars, the formation of planets and solar systems, and the impact of cosmic events such as supernovae on Earth's geological history.Stellar Evolution: And Its Relations To Geological Time is a seminal work in the field of astronomy and geology, and remains an important reference for scientists and researchers today. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both professional and lay readers interested in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
