TitleDating game: One Man's search for the Age of the Earth
Author(s)Cherry Lewis
PublicationCambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2000.
Descriptionix, 258p.
Abstract NoteHow old is the Earth? At the end of the nineteenth century, scientists were all looking for a clock that would provide an answer to this, the greatest Time question of all. The Dating Game tells the story of one man`s vision of developing a geological timescale, a great vision which lasted fifty years despite scientific opposition, financial hardship and personal tragedy. Arthur Holmes fought to convince The Establishment of an Earth of great antiquity: a fight which eventually transformed the moribund `art` of geology into a dynamic science.
