"Protogaea is an ambitious account of terrestrial history, was central to the development of the earth sciences in the eighteenth century and provides key philosophical insights into the unity of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's thought and writings. Though the works of Leibniz have been widely translated into English, Protogaea has languished in its original Latin for centuries. Now Claudine Cohen and Andre Wakefield offer the first English translation of this central text in natural philosophy and natural history."--BOOK JACKET.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [155]-163) and index.
