Beschreibung:
Mike Leeder is Emeritus Professor at UEA Norwich and a former Head of Earth Sciences at Leeds University. His last book, Measures for Measure, Geology and the industrial revolution was recognised as an Outstanding Academic Text by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ALA).
Momentous changes, particularly in the 1960's, transformed 'geology' into 'earth science'. These developments and the scientists behind them have been neglected until now and are the subject of this book.
