Abstract

It is very usual for people to say' Things are not what they used
to be-even the climate is changing.' Of course it is. Everything is
changing. Change is the order of nature. Nevertheless, change
and development in the vegetable and animal kingdom are very
largely the result of changes on the face of the earth. This change
is so gradual as to be imperceptible to human senses, but what we
call 'the solid earth' is really a pulsating body, growing, discarding,
developing almost like a living thing, and the results of each period
of development lie around us, if only we will look.
