Reading the rocks : how Victorian geologists discovered the secret of life / by Maddox, Brenda,author.(CARDINAL)131015;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-237) and index.The abyss of time -- Healthful exertion -- Down the mines -- Vestiges of paternity -- Fighting fellows -- Dating the deluge -- On the beach -- Dinosaur wars -- Celibacy galore -- From Siluria to the Moon -- Alps of Alps arise -- Darwin the geologist -- The iceman cometh -- Footprints in Pennsylvania -- At last, the big question -- Origin of Origin -- The whole orang -- Museum pieces -- Then and now.This is a group biography of the first geologists, the people who were first to excavate from the layers of the world its buried history. These first geologists were made up primarily of gentlemen with the necessary wealth to support their interests, yet also included clergymen, academics and women. The new science of geology was pursued by this assorted band because it opened a window on Earth's ancient past. They showed courage in facing the conflict between geology and Genesis as the rocks and fossils showed that the Earth was immeasurably old, rather than springing from a creation made in the six days that the Bible claimed. This book tells the individual stories of this group, their hope and fears, triumphs and disappointments, the theological, philosophical and scientific debates their findings provoked, and the way that as a group, they were to change our understanding of the world.

Relationships. by School of Life (Business enterprise)(CARDINAL)357291;
Love has a history and we ride - sometimes rather helplessly - on its currents. Since around 1750, we have been living in a highly distinctive era in the history of love that we can call Romanticism. And it has been a disaster for love. Relationships challenges the assumptions of the Romantic view of love. It shows how to develop new attitudes that can lead to a psychologically mature vision of love:? That it is ok that love and sex may not always belong together ? That discussing money early on, in a serious way, is not a betrayal of love ? That realising that we are rather flawed, and our partner is too, is of huge benefit to a couple ? That we will never find everything we need in another person, nor they in us ? That spending two hours discussing whether bathroom towels should be hung up or can be left on the floor has its own dignityFull of applied real-life examples, and enlivened throughout with humour and cultural anecdote, this innovative guide paves the way to a new, brighter future for love. --Post-romanticism -- Object choice -- Transference -- The problems of closeness -- The weakness of strength -- Partner-as-child -- Loving and being loved -- The dignity of ironing -- Teaching and learning -- Pessimism -- Blame and love -- Politeness and secrets -- Explaining one's madness -- Artificial conversations -- Crushes -- Sexual non-liberation -- The loyalist and the libertine -- Celibacy and endings -- Classical vs romantic -- Better love stories.
