The Geological Society of London
Founded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society in the world, and one of the largest publishers in the Earth sciences.
The Society publishes a wide range of high-quality peer-reviewed titles for academics and professionals working in the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable international reputation for the quality of its work.
The many areas in which we publish in include:
-Petroleum geology
-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology
-Volcanology, magmatic studies and geochemistry
-Remote sensing
-History of geology
-Regional geology guides
In fact the 30 papers reveal a wide thematic range offering some interesting spotlights in the history of religion starting even at a time when the terminus 'geology' did not even exist.
Thus the books may be recommended to all who are interested in the various aspects of geology and religion. Readers might learn from the historical context that there is enough space for personal positions in between geology and religion. --Thomas Hofmann, Jahrbuch Der Geologischen Bundesanstalt, Band 149, 2009
