520 8 |a Annotation  |b this book offers an alternative (better) way to understand the future of geology, especially in the context of statics and dynamics-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other). Thus, this book offers a new theory to go beyond the existing approaches in the literature on geology in an original way.
