Discover one of the Scottish Enlightenment's brightest stars. Among the giants of the Scottish Enlightenment, the name of James Hutton is overlooked. Yet his Theory of the Earth revolutionised the way we think about how our planet was formed and laid the foundation for the science of geology. He was in his time a doctor, a farmer, a businessman, a chemist yet he described himself as a philosopher – a seeker after truth. A friend of James Watt and of Adam Smith, he was a polymath, publishing papers on subjects as diverse as why it rains and a theory of language. He shunned status and official position, refused to give up his strong Scots accent and vulgar speech, loved jokes and could start a party in an empty room. Yet much of his story remains a mystery. His papers, library and mineral collection all vanished after his death and only a handful of letters survive. He seemed to be a lifelong bachelor, yet had a secret son whom he supported throughout his life. This book uses new sources and original documents to bring Hutton the man to life and places him firmly among the geniuses of his time.

James Hutton's Theory of the Earth secured his place as the founder of modem geology. As a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment period, that remarkable period in the second half of the 18th century associated with philosopher David Hume, economist Adam Smith and chemist Joseph Black, Hutton provided unequivocal evidence that the Earth was far older than generally believed. He saw the possibility of evolution, not only of the physical world, but also of living creatures. Eleven years before the birth of Darwin, Hutton saw natural selection as a "beautiful contrivance" for adapting animals and plants to their changing environments. Time has not been kind to James Hutton. He is not nearly as well known as the others from his era. Earth's Autobiography is an effort to place his work in historical perspective, recognizing his importance for the groundwork he uncovered. His scientific work is described here in its rich social and political context, much of it in his own words. This book is being published in Hutton's bicentennial year.
