Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. A new copy of a much-admired biography. Viking 2001 An extraordinary tale of the father of modern geology from the author of the international No.1 bestseller THE SURGEON OF CROWTHORNE. Hidden behind velvet curtains above a stairway in a house in London's Piccadilly is an enormous and beautiful hand-coloured map - the first geological map of anywhere in the world. Its maker was a farmer's son named William Smith. Born in 1769 his life was beset by troubles: he was imprisoned for debt, turned out of his home, his work was plagiarised, his wife went insane and the scientific establishment shunned him. It was not until 1829, when a Yorkshire aristocrat recognised his genius,that he was returned to London in triumph: THE MAP THAT CHANGED THE WORLD is his story.
