Geology as a science has a fascinating and controversial history.
Kieran D. O'Hara's book provides a brief and accessible account of
the major events in the history of geology over the last two
hundred years, from early theories of Earth structure during the
Reformation, through major controversies over the age of the Earth
during the Industrial Revolution, to the more recent
twentieth-century development of plate tectonic theory, and on to
current ideas concerning the Anthropocene. Most chapters include a
short 'text box' providing more technical and detailed elaborations
on selected topics. The book also includes a history of the geology
of the Moon, a topic not normally included in books on the history
of geology. The book will appeal to students of Earth science,
researchers in geology who wish to learn more about the history of
their subject, and general readers interested in the history of
science.
