Time matters : geology's legacy to scientific thought / Michael Leddra.
"Time Matters provides an insight into the background behind some of the key concepts we use in Earth science today. It shows the historical context in which these ideas were developed, the important contributions of individual scientists and thinkers, and how these ideas continue to shape our view of science and the world in which we live." --back cover
