Earth's Earliest Ages
G. H. Pember
Kregel Academic & Professional, 1975
Very unique but difficult book
G.H. Pember lived from 1837-1910. As a result, this book's language can be quite difficult for the modern reader to follow. However, it is worth it. To begin with, Pember ably reconciles the 6000 year history of man from Adam to the present age with the scientific ...
