Introduction -- Family background and public life -- Geology -- Palaeometeorology -- Final years -- References -- Bibliography of the Writings of Frederic W. Harmer -- Glossary Index -- On the Author -- On this Book. Comprising the first definitive account of the geological and palaeometeorological studies made by the British geologist, Frederic W. Harmer (1835-1924) this book contributes a previously missing chapter to the history of science. The main objective of the author is to ensure that the scientific work of Harmer, which unfortunately has been widely neglected or forgotten, becomes more generally known and acknowledged. The balance of this deficiency will be redressed by bringing to light in this volume his contributions to the history of science to an audience of academic and lay readers of the current literature. |
