Description

This book struck me as interesting because of its historical value in following the trajectory of various perspectives on the age of the earth. While there is some description of these items in the text, it is overwhelmed by anecdotal stories and tedious biographical information about geologists. The main content of the title's self-proclaimed quest could be reduced to a tenth of the size of the book with pertinent info instead of the extra needless drivel. There are better books out there on this subject.
