Description
Favorably compared to the best-selling book The Map That Changed the World, Alan Cutler's The Seashell on the Mountaintop explores the revolution that occurred when Nicholas Steno, scientist and priest, peeled back the layers of the Earth to reveal its true history and age.
Steno's research conflicted with the age-old beliefs of the Bible, but Steno himself would go on to become a bishop and a saint. With this fascinating story, Cutler reveals the life of a man who changed the world of the 17th century and beyond.
