This book will make admirable reading for persons of any age. It provides a clear and popular explanation of the great problem of the earth’s beginning. It is believed that no exposition of the nebular theory and its infinitely wide ramifications has been made that is at once so simple, so original, and so comprehensive. Dr. Ball’s success as a lecturer in this country indicates his gift of popular exposition, and this book will rank as one of the most attractive presentations of scientific fact and theory for general readers.
