'This volume brings together some 30 papers written to honour the unique contribution that the late Professor Edwin Sherbon Hills made to earth science knowledge over more than half a century. Facsimiles of six of Hills' benchmark papers are accompanied by contributions from many internationally known authors.' Professor Hills (1906-1986) carried a heavy teaching load, including palaeontology, stratigraphy, engineering geology, petrology, economic geology and physical geography [and was] awarded the David Syme prize for scientific research in 1940. Well organised and intellectually thorough, he favoured fact over theory . applications of Hills' research were extensive, particularly in economic geology and arid zone research. In the former, the mapping and survey work he began in the 1940s established interpretations that influenced subsequent mineral exploration' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
