Now it's up to us to stop the chaos they've unleashed on the city, and to prevent the demon they summoned from devouring Delilah's soul. But the blood really hits the fang when we discover a secret society bent on winning Shadow Wing's favor. And when I discover a ghoul in the woods near our home, we know there has to be a necromancer nearby-another sign that something's wrong. First, Iris and I unearth a diary from one of the bartenders at the Wayfarer who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. And if the nerds from hell don't get their act together, I'm going to turn their toga party into a bloodbath. And me? I'm Menolly, acrobat-extraordinaire-turned-vampire. My sister Delilah transforms into a tabby cat at the worst possible times. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch whose magic is as unpredictable as the weather. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy-and sexy-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency.

Gould follows these metaphors through these three great documents and shows how their influence, more than the empirical observation of rocks in the field, provoked the supposed discovery of deep time by Hutton and Lyell. Gould's major theme is the role of metaphor in the formulation and testing of scientific theories-in this case the insight provided by the oldest traditional dichotomy of Judeo-Christian thought: the directionality of time's arrow or the immanence of time's cycle. He follows a single thread through three documents that mark the transition in our thinking from thousands to billions of years: Thomas Burnet's four-volume Sacred Theory of the Earth (1680-1690), James Hutton's Theory of the Earth (1795), and Charles Lyell's three-volume Principles of Geology (1830-1833).
