Description

Explore the intense scientific battles of the 19th century with Controversy in Victorian Geology - The Cambrian-Silurian Dispute: 61. Published by Princeton University Press, this work by Secord provides a detailed account of the scientific trench warfare that defined an era. Readers gain a deep understanding of the major taxonomic efforts during Darwin's time, focusing on the attempts to map, order, and tame the chaos of geological strata. This volume goes beyond pure science to examine the social and imperial ramifications of geological discovery. It investigates how geology held a moral appeal for a beleaguered elite seeking to support a divinely-stratified Creation and subdue the lower orders. Originally published in 1986, this edition is part of the Princeton Legacy Library, utilizing modern print-on-demand technology to make this important historical research available to a new generation of scholars and science enthusiasts.
