Description

This scholarly examination explores the scientific and social dimensions of Victorian geology's most contentious debate. Secord provides meticulous analysis of the Cambrian-Silurian dispute, revealing how geologists of Darwin's era approached the fundamental challenge of ordering and classifying Earth's strata. Beyond technical taxonomy, the work uncovers the broader cultural landscape in which geology operated, including its connection to theological arguments about divine creation and its role in reinforcing social hierarchies. The text traces how this geological controversy intersected with imperial ambitions and the period's anxieties about social order. Originally published in 1986, this Princeton Legacy Library edition employs modern print-on-demand technology to restore access to this influential historical study of science, society, and the politics of natural classification during the nineteenth century.
