The studies in this second volume by Martin Rudwick focus on the figures of Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. Lyell rose to be of pivotal importance because he challenged other geologists throughout Europe by probing their methods and conclusions to the limit. His younger friend Charles Darwin first made his name as a Lyellian geologist; Darwin's early work in geology, studied here, provided important foundations for his later and more famous research.
