How a Humble Geologist Shaped the Industrial Revolution
Manage episode 425806599 series 2575536
In today's episode we talk about a 19th century canals and railways surveyor in England who was obsessed with rocks, fossils, and maps. And how this obsession made the industrial revolution possible, helped make an English professor in the 1990s a successful Champagne baron, and the police partner with geologists to solve a murder mystery nearly 200 years later!
