HARDCOVER PUBLISHER'S HALF CLOTH BINDING WITH GILT ON SPINE
The most widely read work of Théophile Moreaux (1867-1954) - French astronomer and meteorologist, director of the astronomical observatory in Bourges. "It is a book unique in its kind. In four parts [...] it deals with such a great multitude of issues in cosmogony, geology, prehistory, ethnology, etc., that only a man of immense erudition indeed and of first-rate writing talent, such as X. Moreaux, could tie it all together in a unified whole, make it accessible to non-fiction readers and give it in an almost felicitous form" (From the preface).
