Instead of exploring the development of historical geology, Laudan looks at the history of geology from the development of 'causal geology,' rooted in the disciplines of mineralogy and cosmogony. This book investigates the influence of different schools of thought on early geology, including the Becher-Stahl School and the often underappreciated Wernerian tradition.
