Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and evolution of planetary systems. It reviews the evidence gathered by terrestrial study of the Earth's crust and ocean, then discusses how this information fits with our understanding of the wider solar system and universe. The author puts forward theories about the fundamental principles that have influenced the development of the Earth and the universe and what they might mean for our understanding of the longevity of planetary systems. Focusing mainly on the influence of transforming elements and radioactivity, the author concludes that these forces are the primary drivers of surface features, such as mountain chains. The author covers a range of topics from the abundance of life to the application of radioactivity in medicine, presenting the perspectives of a range of thinkers on each subject. Through this broad and in-depth analysis, this book positions our current scientific understanding of the subject within its wider context and provides new ideas about the birth of our world and the nature of the universe.
