内容説明

Catastrophism is the theory that the earth's crust owed its main features to sudden catastrophes rather than continuous, slow processes - known as uniformitarianism. All studies of Earth Science history must take a stance on methodology but Huggett argues that a stance is often adopted without a critical examination of the origins of the theory. Huggett argues the case for a re-appraisal of catastrophism, believing that the theory had not been given the attention it deserves.
