About this book

The story of William Smith, an 18th century mining surveyor who noticed that rocks were layered and that sequences of strata held distinctive fossils. Seeing the need to view rocks in 3 dimensions, he produced his first map in 1799, followed in 1815 by his masterwork, a stratigraphical map of England and Wales, astonishing for the dynamic concepts it embodies: uplift and folding, the impermanence of land and sea, and the interplay with living processes.
