			The Great Devonian Controversy: The Shaping of Scientific Knowledge among Gentlemanly Specialists, by Martin J. S. Rudwick, University of Chicago Press, 1985

			http://www.friesian.com/rudwick.htm

			Martin Rudwick's The Great Devonian Controversy is a monumental achievement and a classic in the philosophy and history of science. As a case study of one of the watershed moments in the history of geology, it is not only great history, but it is also a test case for theories about the nature of scientific knowledge. It is also well written, engaging, and fascinating as a narrative and a detective story, based on a great mass of material, including letters sometimes written on a daily basis between the principals of the dispute. — from the above page, 12 April 2008

			The Pulse of the Earth, Orogenies & Transgressions

			http://www.friesian.com/geology.htm

			The most dramatic changes in the shape and appearance of the earth over geological time involve the growth and movement of continents (plate tectonics), the creation (orogenies) and destruction of mountain ranges, which are really part of that process, and the advance (transgressions) and retreats (regressions) of the oceans across the continents. The mechanism of mountain building could not be understood until the theory of plate tectonics became established and it could be seen that plates moving together were responsible. The real mechanism for transgressions and regressions is still not understood. — from the above page, 12 April 2008
