Excerpt from A New System of Geology: In Which the Great Revolutions of the Earth and Animated Nature, Are Reconciled at Once to Modern Science and Sacred History The author does not profess, in the following pages, to fur nish the geological proficient, with descriptions of new forms of mountain rock, or mineral superposition; nor, had he pos sessed any such store of original observation, would he have deemed this the fitting occasion to display it. His leading object has been to distribute the most interesting and best established truths, illustrative of the structure and revola tions of the earth, in the order of their physical connexions and causes; whence certain general inductions might be legitimately seen to ow. In executing this task he has drawn freely from every authentic source of geological knowledge within his reach - careful merely to quote his authorities, and to acknowledge his obligations; without descending to such minuteness of reference as might savour of pedantry. He has honestly endeavoured to seek the proper end of philosophy, by arranging multifarious and seemingly dis cordant facts, into a chain of natural links; an object which, if even partially gained, will constitute the chief novelty, and recommendation of his work.

In 1980, the science world was stunned when a maverick team of researchers proposed that a massive meteor strike had wiped the dinosaurs and other fauna from the Earth 66 million years ago. Scientists found evidence for this theory in a “crater of doom” on the Yucatán Peninsula, showing that our planet had once been a target in a galactic shooting gallery. In Cataclysms, Michael R. Rampino builds on the latest findings from leading geoscientists to take “neocatastrophism” a step further, toward a richer understanding of the science behind major planetary upheavals and extinction events. Rampino recounts his conversion to the impact hypothesis, describing his visits to meteor-strike sites and his review of the existing geological record. The new geology he outlines explicitly rejects nineteenth-century “uniformitarianism,” which casts planetary change as gradual and driven by processes we can see at work today. Rampino offers a cosmic context for Earth’s geologic evolution, in which cataclysms from above in the form of comet and asteroid impacts and from below in the form of huge outpourings of lava in flood-basalt eruptions have led to severe and even catastrophic changes to the Earth’s surface. This new geology sees Earth’s position in our solar system and galaxy as the keys to understanding our planet’s geology and history of life. Rampino concludes with a controversial consideration of dark matter’s potential as a triggering mechanism, exploring its role in heating Earth’s core and spurring massive volcanism throughout geologic time.

Emphasizing the interconnected nature of environmental geology and the multidimensional processes of the Earth, this highly anticipated new edition of Merritt's classic text provides a balanced approach to environmental issues and builds an informed student understanding with case studies, conceptual explanations, and relevant presentation of material. By far the most concise book for its course, it remains the only textbook to use an earth systems approach to exploring how the Earth works, the human impact on the environment, and the characteristics of different natural hazards.
