| AUTHOR | Goldsmith, David |
| PUBLISHER | Prometheus Books (01/10/2023) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
On Solid Ground illustrates what geologists know about the earth by telling the stories of the people who made major geological discoveries. It also chronicles the doubters and nay-sayers who have worked so hard to undermine our understanding of the earth. Each chapter of this book contains three things: the human story of a geologic controversy, an explanation of why geologists are so sure about the right answer to that controversy, and a short discussion of the logical fallacies being used by those still unwilling to accept geologic expertise.
