Tracks the growth of geology's prestige in Britain, exploring how a geohistory of Creation was assembled and sold to the wider Biblereading public. In exploring the use of poetry and spectacle in the promotion of popular science, this book attempts to prove that geology's success owed much to the literary techniques of its authors.
