The study of the Earth's origin, its composition, the processes that changed and shaped
it over time and the fossils preserved in rocks, have occupied enquiring minds from
ancient times. The contributions in this volume trace the history of ideas and the
research of scholars in a wide range of geological disciplines that have paved the
way to our present-day understanding and knowledge of the physical nature of our planet
and the diversity of life that inhabited it. To mark the 50th anniversary of the founding
of the International Commission on the History of Geology, the book features contributions
that give insights into its establishment and progress. In other sections authors
reflect on the value of studying the history of the geosciences and provide accounts
of early investigations in fields as diverse as tectonics, volcanology, geomorphology,
vertebrate palaeontology and petroleum geology. Other papers discuss the establishment
of geological surveys, the contribution of women to geology and biographical sketches
of noted scholars in various fields of geoscience.
