"Worlds in the Making: The Evolution of the Universe" by Svante Arrhenius is a scientific exploration from the early 1900s, investigating the beginnings and development of everything that exists. Examining earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the traits of objects in space, Arrhenius explains the physics and chemistry behind the universe. The book starts with Arrhenius talking about why he wrote it. He discusses the downfalls of former ideas about where the universe came from. He emphasizes understanding volcanoes and the effects they have on Earth, while pointing out how past natural disasters had impact on people. Furthermore, Arrhenius shows the bond between the Earth's structure and the conditions of its climate, while he readies us for looking deeply into how our planet and the universe have changed.
