Review:
'...insightful, entertaining and beautifully produced.' -- Sunday Telegraph

'Alan Cutler fluidly and elegantly charts the birthing pains of geology...' -- Daily Telegraph

...it makes your wrestle with the unwillingness shown by people, however intelligent, to accept the evidence of their own eyes -- Daily Mail

Delightful... Cutler has managed to make whole cloth out of the vague threads of the Steno story... -- Simon Winchester (in the Boston Globe)
From the Publisher:
The extraordinary story of the 17th century Danish geologist Steno, who was the first man to claim that the earth must be older than the Bible claimed, forever changing Western civilisation's ideas of time and undermining biblical authority, yet ended his life a Catholic bishop.
