Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of Geology Passing over earlier writers on this subject, we come to John Kepler, one of the greatest astronomers and mathematicians that ever lived. In a work pub lished in 1619, he seriously attempted to prove by argument, that the earth is an immense animal, and breathes forth winds through the craters or chasms of Volcanoes, which serve as a mouth and nostrils. Certain aspects of the planets, he says, occasion wmds and tempests, arising from the sympathy which the earth has with the heavens, whereby it instinctively perceives the positions of the stars.
