The Evolution Of Worlds

The Evolution of Worlds is a book written by Percival Lowell, which explores the scientific theories and observations surrounding the evolution of planets and their potential for harboring life. Lowell was an astronomer and mathematician who made significant contributions to the study of our solar system, and in this book, he delves into the history of the universe and the processes that have led to the formation of planets and their satellites.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of planetary evolution. Lowell begins by discussing the origins of the universe, and how the Big Bang theory led to the formation of galaxies and stars. He then moves on to the formation of our own solar system, describing the processes that led to the creation of the Sun and its planets.Lowell also explores the physical properties of planets and their satellites, including their atmospheres, geology, and potential for hosting life. He discusses the conditions necessary for life to exist, and how the search for extraterrestrial life has evolved over time.Throughout the book, Lowell draws on the latest scientific research and observations to support his theories and arguments. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the complex processes he describes.Overall, The Evolution of Worlds is a fascinating exploration of the origins and evolution of planets, and the potential for life beyond our own planet. It is a must-read for anyone interested in astronomy, cosmology, or the search for extraterrestrial life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
