The Practice of British Geology, 1750–1850

Summary

Geology is the most "historical" of the sciences, yet its own history remains largely neglected, especially the many aspects of how geology was practised in the past. This volume analyzes the careers of some important figures in English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish geology between 1750 and 1850.
