Spanagel, David (2014). DeWitt Clinton and Amos Eaton: Geology and Power in Early New York [State]. Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 270pp. Hardback, matt plasticised paper illustrated cover, in fine condition except that matt finish retains finger prints. Text clean, unmarked, in very good to fine condition. Fascinating read of geological practice, canal building and entrepreneurial support for teaching and professionalisation of geology. Very interesting to compare and contrast with contemporary (1820s) developments in GB and Europe.
