The book "Geology in the Nineteenth Century: Changing Views of a Changing World" by Mott T. Greene, published in 1982, provides a comprehensive overview of the development of geology as a scientific discipline during the 19th century. The author, a prominent historian of science, offers a detailed account of how geologists' understanding of the Earth's history and processes evolved over the course of the century, shaped by advances in technology, changing societal values, and the growing awareness of the dynamic nature of the planet. The book begins by exploring the early beginnings of geology as a distinct scientific field, tracing its roots back to the 18th century when naturalists like James Hutton and William Smith began to recognize the importance of the study of the Earth's materials and processes. As the field progressed, geologists began to develop new techniques for studying the Earth, such as the use of microscopes and the creation of geological maps. These innovations allowed them to better understand the composition and structure of the Earth, leading to a greater appreciation for the complexity and diversity of the planet's geology.
