Book Description
The science of geology is intertwined with the growth of the field in Argentina. This book explores those dual historical developments and, as an expanded translation of Historia de la Geología Argentina: Una Crónica de Más de Dos Siglos, shares them with a global audience. Drawing on the author’s extensive work throughout the country as well as documents and photographs from the archives of the National Geological Survey, General Archive of the Nation, and the universities of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and La Plata, this book offers a once-in-a-century look at developments in the field of geology from a country-specific perspective.
