Geochronology, Dating, and Precambrian Time

The Geologic History of Earth

Though it encompasses the majority of the Earth's history, much about Precambrian time still remains unknown to us. With its climate extremes and unstable surfaces, Precambrian Earth hardly resembled the planet we see today. Yet for all its differences, it made the existence of future generations possible. This volume helps unlock the mysteries of prehistory by considering available geologic evidence while providing a deep dive into the finesses of geochronology.

Series Review: **STARRED REVIEW**
"This series surveys the geologic and biological history of the earth. Each volume begins with a table of contents that minutely breaks down the chapters by types of life forms and geologic stages and periods. This detailed breakdown allows these books to function both as general overviews and quick reference resources. An introductory chapter includes a helpful geologic time scale chart...Scattered illustrations, photographs, maps, and charts further illuminate the text. These challenging volumes will meet the needs of upper level students. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
