North Carolina: The Years Before Man is an interpretation of continuing investigations of North Carolina geology by many working scientists. This recounting of North Carolina's past is not a collection of research papers but a geological narrative compiled with every effort made to relate events in a way that will present an understandable story. Beyer offers the reader an opportunity to consider himself as products of an evolving planet, one with a past so lengthy that human history is diminished to insignificance.
