Description

Discover how geology emerged as a distinct science by blending physical law with historical thinking between 1665 and 1750. This essential scholarly work by Rhoda Rappaport traces the development of geological thought across international boundaries, beginning with the establishment of formal institutions for scholarly exchange like the Philosophical Society. Perfect for historians, geologists, and students of scientific history seeking a comprehensive introduction to early geological science, this book provides a fundamental foundation for understanding how natural philosophy transformed into modern geology. Rappaport's transnational approach reveals the conceptual shifts that defined this pivotal period in scientific thought, making it indispensable for anyone researching the origins of geological science or the history of natural inquiry during the early modern era.
