Old stones, however intriguing, are difficult to interpret, dusty, and do not fit well in the neatly ordered contents of a house of learning. Archaean geology, which is the study of the Earth's history in the period from after 9 the end of planetary accretion (4.5-4.4 x 10 years ago) up to the beginning 9 of the Proterozoic (2.5 x 10 years ago) is much the same - a parcel of old stones seemingly impossible to understand. Yet these stones contain the history of our origins: they can tell us a story that is interesting not just to the geologist (for whom this book is primarily written) but instead addresses the human condition in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51599046377760,"sku":"NEW0045500495","price":62.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71rtLrBRSXL_3cbf51af-c2f4-42a0-9bc6-3838864891f3.jpg?v=1779210751","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-young-earth-an-introduction-to-archaean-geology-0045500495","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
