Excerpt from Radioactivity and Geology, an Account of the Influence of Radioactive Energy on Terrestrial History
Shortly after the meeting of the British Association in Dublin last year, it was suggested to me by several friends that my Presidential Address to Section C might with advantage be re-written in a more extended and less technical form. The same suggestion reached me from a few well-known publishers, foremost among whom was the firm whose name appears on the title-page. The idea was already in my mind, for I had been compelled, by the limits necessarily imposed on a Presidential Address, to leave unsaid much that I thought should be said, not only for purposes of elucidation, but by way of addition. Thus it was that the present volume originated.
But when the task of re-writing the Address was begun, it soon became apparent that mere expansion of the matter already in print was insufficient to meet the requirements of those who, for various reasons, may be unable to abstract from a highly specialized and voluminous literature the principles underlying this new branch of geological research.
