The fascinating story of how the geological knowledge associated with our planet was obtained step by step: how its age, composition, and “favor” were determined, deep processes were revealed. Each of the 25 chapters of the book tells how geologists, paleontologists and oceanologists searched for answers to their questions in the thickness of the Earth’s crust, in craters of volcanoes, at the very bottom of the World Ocean, in inaccessible mountains, gorges, icy deserts and even in space.

In the preface, Donald Prothero compares the work of a geologist with the work of a criminologist, and then reveals this comparison, showing the painstaking process of restoring from the smallest details, single traces and random prints of a holistic picture of the distant past, separated from us by an abyss of geological time.
