Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle: Myth and Metaphor in the Discovery of Geological Time is a collection of a series of speeches at Hebrew University in 1985 by Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002), a famous American paleontologist and scientific prose writer. This book revolves around the dichotomy of "arrow of time" and "ring of time", combined with the method of iconography, re-organizes the reflection of the "deep time" idea in the works of three pioneers in the field of Western geology, Thomas Burnet, James Hutton and Charles Lyell, and provides precise analysis and interpretation of "Telluris Theoria Sacra", " Theory of the Earth" and "Principles of Geology".
