Synopsis

This book considers theories on the origin and formation of the Earth, placing them within the broader context of the evolution and development of the solar system and the cosmos. The author examines concepts from the field of astronomy to explain the various hypotheses for the Earth's genesis and then goes further to discuss the implications of these theories on the understanding of early Earth conditions. The author's approach to the subject is to encourage an ongoing scientific discourse that uses multiple working hypotheses and encourages analysis of facts and theories. The book provides a valuable resource for readers interested in the scientific evolution of the planet and the processes that came before its formation.
