Principles of Geology

Charles Lyell 12 Episodes Aug 23, 2026

This podcast presents the classic geological work "Principles of Geology" by Charles Lyell. First published in the 1830s, the book argues for uniformitarianism, the idea that the same natural processes operating today have shaped the Earth over immense timescales. Lyell used geological evidence to challenge the then-prevalent belief that the Earth was only a few thousand years old. The podcast likely offers an audio reading or discussion of this foundational text in the history of geology.
