No Stone Unturned: Reasoning About Rocks and Fossils

Geology is a science encompassing the concepts of other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry and evolutionary biology. In this unique introduction to geology, E. K. Peters uses her class-tested interdisciplinary approach to discuss the scope and nature of modern scientific inquiry. Taking the major historical debates in geology as a point of departure, Peters presents a geoscience text based on an understanding of the interplay of scientific concepts against the background of the history and philosophy of science.
