What reading level is Time And Change book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We do not see the great mother, or the greatfather, or feel the lift of the great biologic laws. We are beyondour depth. It is easy to believe that the baby is born of woman, because it is a matter of daily experience, but it is not easy tobelieve that man is born of the animal world below him, and thatthat is born of inorganic Nature, because the fact is too big andtremendous.
What we call Nature works in no other way; one law is over big andlittle alike. What Nature does in a day typifies wha...t she does in aneternity. It is when we reach the things done on such an enormousscale of time and power and size that we are helpless. The almostinfinitely slow transformations that the theory of evolution demandsbalk us as do the size and distance of the fixed stars.
No observation or study of evolution on a small scale and near athand in the familiar facts of the life about us can prepare us forit, any more than lake and river can prepare us for the ocean, orthe modeling of miniature valleys and mountains by the rain in theclay bank can open our minds to receive the tremendous facts of thecarving of the face of the continent by the same agents.
