The Mammoth And The Flood : An Attempt To Confront The Theory Of Uniformity With The Facts Of Recent Geology (1887) (Hardcover)

The Mammoth And The Flood is a book written by Henry Hoyle Howorth in 1887. The book attempts to challenge the theory of uniformity in geology by presenting evidence from recent geological discoveries. Howorth argues that the geological record shows evidence of catastrophic events, such as the biblical flood, rather than gradual and uniform processes. The book also explores the role of mammoths in these events, as their remains have been found in large numbers in certain geological layers. The author draws on a wide range of geological and historical sources to support his arguments. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of geology and the debate between uniformitarian and catastrophic theories of geological change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
