Originally published in 1983, The Earth Sciences: An Annotated Bibliography is a compact and thematically organized guide that provides comprehensive access to themes and areas of study in the earth sciences. The bibliography is not exhaustive but provides a detailed and critical index to the most important literature in the field. The book’s core focus is geology and examines the subject broadly, covering everything from glaciology, geomorphology, natural history and palaeontology, to oceanography, mapping, stratigraphy and evolution. The book provides detailed essays for each bibliographical chapter on the state of each field of research and the literature compiled for each bibliography will go as far back as around 1700 and contains a wide range of sources from across the world. This book will be of interest to academics and students of natural history, geology, and environmental sciences alike.

In the 25 years since the third edition of this book, scientific publishing has developed new forms and the academic discipline and popular appreciation of the history of science has grown. This edition discusses these changes and ponders the implications of developments in publishing by the end of the 20th century, while concentrating upon the dissemination of scientific ideas and knowledge from antiquity to the industrial age. In this shift of focus, it departs from previous editions and for the first time, a chapter on Islamic science is included.
