What reading level is A History of Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Marble, for example, is dearly nothing but calcined limestone.
With such evidence before him, Hutton is at no loss to complete his hypothesis. The agency which has solidified the ocean-beds, he says, is subterranean heat.
The same agency, acting excessively, has produced volcanic cataclysms, upheaving ocean -beds to form continents. The rugged and uneven surfaces of moun- tains, the tilted and broken character of stratified rocks everywhere, are the standing witnesses of these gigantic upheaval
...s.
And with this the imagined c^de is complete. The continents, worn away and cairied to the sea by the action of the elements, have been made over into rocks again in the ocean-beds, and then raised once more into continents. And this massive cycle, in Hutton's scheme, is supposed to have occurred not once only, but over and over again, times without number. In 120 Digitized by Google MODERN GEOLOGY this tmique view ours is indeed a world without be- gtnning and without end; its continents have been making and unmaking in endless series since time began.
