What reading level is Some Salient Points in the Science of the Earth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their bodies, like those of plants, are for the most part built up around a central axis, or they show tendencies to spiral modes of growth.
It is this composite sort of life which is connected with the main geological function of the Foraminifer. While active sensation, appetite, and enjoyment pervade the pseudopods and external sarcode of the mass, the hard skeleton common to the whole is growing within ; and in this way the calcareous matter is gradually removed from the sea water, and built... up in solid reefs, or in piles of loose foraminiferal shells. Thus it is the aggregative or common life, alike in Foraminifers as in Corals, that tends most powerfully to the accumulation of calcareous matter; and those creatures whose life is of this complex character are best suited to be world builders, since the result of their growth is not merely a cemetery of their osseous remains, but a huge communistic edifice, to which multitudes of lives have contributed, and in which successive generations take up their abode on the remains of their an- cestors.
