(History of science and scholarship in the Netherlands, volume 5).
- The papers collected in this volume, given at a Dutch history of science symposium, present
a historical survey of Dutch contributions to earth science. It includes a wide variety of subjects:
the pioneering stratigraphic studies of the 18th-century naturalist Francq van Berkhey, Dutch
contributions to the basalt controversy, geology in the Belgian provinces, the geology lectures
(1863) of Staring and his geological map of the Netherlands, the mineral work of Hermann
Vogelsang, the Maastricht Cretaceous finds in the emergence of Dutch vertebrate palaeontology,
and the founding of groundwater hydrology in the Netherlands (1850-1950). The book also
features two hallmark studies by Dutch scholars: a previously unpublished mineralogical treatise
by Wiechmann, and a study of the suitability of Hauy's crystal models to identify minerals.
