- Double-weighted statement
- Double weighting is requested for this 220 page monograph. It is the culmination of eight years of research, incorporating findings from two AHRC-funded research projects. The book analyses a large and diverse body of interdisciplinary material, synthesising the results of long-term ethnography in two locations (East Anglia and the Orkney Islands) with extensive investigation of primary sources in the history of geology. This has enabled a detailed integration of anthropological theory with geological concepts and issues, offering the necessary broad scope that allows social scientists to engage with the complex topic of deep time.
