Review
Review of the hardback: '... can be highly recommended as a reference on the history of plantogonies.' Dr K. Regenauer-Lieb, Meteorite
Review of the hardback: 'These three volumes give a very interesting overview of the historic development of theories beginning with the 17th century and ending in the 1980s, which have led to our present day understanding of the possible processes that have been involved in the formation of our solar system including Earth.' Open University Geological Society Journal
Review of the hardback: '... a well-written and illustrated product ... ' David Oldroyd, Metascience
Book Description
Transmuted Past, the second of three volumes making up A History of Modern Planetary Physics, summarises the development of theories of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis in the twentieth century, and describes radiometric methods for estimating the age of the Earth. Professor Brush also explores the changing reputation of planetary science and compares history and geology as ways of studying the past.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where did we come from? Before there was life there had to be something to live on - a planet, a solar system. During the past 200 years, astronomers and geologists have developed and tested several different theories about the origin of the solar system and the nature of the Earth. The three volumes that together make up A History of Modern Planetary Physics present a survey of these theories. The age of the Earth has been one of the most disputed numbers in science since the seventeenth century. Transmuted Past follows the development of theories of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis in the twentieth century and describes radiometric methods for estimating the age of the Earth. Professor Brush also offers perspectives on the changing reputation of planetary science relative to the 'pure' sciences, such as physics, and a comparison of history and geology as ways of studying the past. Transmuted Past summarizes the attempts to estimate the age of the Earth during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This item is printed on demand.
