Four Centuries of Geological Travel: The Search for Knowledge on Foot, Bicycle, Sledge and Camel (Special Publications of the Geological Society) - Hardcover
Jackson (geology, Trinity College, Dublin) and approximately 30 contributors provide a collection of papers focusing on the complexities of geological exploration and the motivations of those geologists who have traveled the world over the past four centuries. The author notes that while motivations for exploration may be varied--a search for economically-important materials or intellectual curiosity, for example--geologists often have been at the forefront of scientific investigation and exploration. The papers examine the literature of geology over the centuries, travels and hardships, and expeditions in Britain and Europe, Greenland, Russia, Africa, the Atlantic Islands, North and South America, Australasia, and Japan. Numerous illustrations are included. The book is distributed in the U.S. by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
