Geology as an Historical Science: Its Perception within Science and the Education System.
Dodick, Jeff; Orion, Nir
Science and Education, v12 n2 p197-211 Feb 2003
Explains how geology has been ignored as a pre-college science subject. Examines some of the historically-based influences that have affected its status within the educational system. Suggests that geology, as a science, having been treated as being derived from physics, is a key factor which is supported by episodes in which geology and physics have interacted. (Contains 56 references.) (Author/YDS)
