{"product_id":"9780521181297","title":"Life and Letters of Adam Sedgwick: Volume 2","description":"Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873) is chiefly remembered as one of the founders of modern geology and an early mentor of Charles Darwin. Originally published in 1890, this two-part collection is composed of extensive extracts from Sedgwick's letters together with a rich, detailed account of his life and work. Both volumes are thoroughly researched and edited by J. W. Clark, with assistance from T. M. Hughes. Sedgwick was a contradictory figure who combined devotion to science with a conservatism borne of his strong religious beliefs. Whilst the text is limited in its portrayal of these contradictions as a result of proximity to its subject, this remains a well-rounded portrait that will be of value to anyone with an interest in geology or the history of science. Volume II covers the period 1840 to 1873.","brand":"John Willis Clark, Thomas McKenny Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45779744915774,"sku":"9780521181297","price":2502.41,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780521181297_50e74f05-2634-4ca1-9ab7-d8a6e67d5e35.jpg?v=1707291177","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780521181297","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
