Synopsis
Time & Change by John Burroughs is a collection of essays that blends science, travel, and philosophy as Burroughs contemplates the history of the earth and the evolution of life. Drawing on his experiences exploring the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Hawaii, and other landscapes, Burroughs muses on geologic time, the formation of soils, the workings of rivers and glaciers, and the way nature reveals itself as a dynamic and intelligible process. He traces the long road from unicellular life to humans, discusses the transition from matter to life, and argues for a naturalistic view in which causation, not miracle, explains origins. Across descriptions of rocks, landscapes, and fossils he interweaves reflections on science and faith, science and religion, and on how the study of nature can foster wonder, humility, and a sense of responsibility toward the earth. The Preface, dated July 1912, sets a tone of patient inquiry and reverent curiosity.
