From Library Journal The third title in the publisher's competent "Innovations in Science" series, this work begins with an introductory essay that provides a concise history of earth sciences in the 20th century while highlighting important, fieldshaping discoveries. Following is an extensive chronology of events from 1900 to 1998; biographical sketches of 30 scientists who have made significant contributions to the field; a directory of over 40 organizations, including associations, research institutes, and academic departments; and an annotated bibliography of selected works and web sites.
