Description: Practice of British Geology, 1750 to 1850, Hardcover by Torrens, Hugh, ISBN 0860788768, ISBN-13 9780860788768, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The thirteen reprinted articles collected here, all but one first published in the 1990s (the exception appeared in 1983), examine the lives, careers, discoveries, and technological innovations of various geologists in the UK in the 18th and 19th centuries. The processes of the mining industry in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are revealed as a result, particularly that of coal. Torrens (no affiliation is given, though he mentions the frustrations of academic life in Britain) notes that his research of geology in the mining industry highlights the many important discoveries made by its practitioners, as opposed to purely theoretical, non-mining, scientists.
