Abstract
The paper reports on the publication context for the book: Geologia do Brasil Com um Mapa Geológico do Brasil e parte dos países vizinhos [Geology of Brazil. With a Geological Map of Brazil and part of Neighboring Countries] by Avelino de Oliveira and Othon Leonardos, in 1940. This book describes the geological map of the country and of some parts of adjacent South American countries. The cover of the publication makes a curious reference to a ‘Brazilian Commission of Portugal’s Centennials’. This reference and the preface, together with other publications, provide very enlightening context about the mineral and energy sectors during the 1930s, including the efforts of geologists and institutions involved in its preparation, the difficulties during its compilation, and how its publication became possible. This Map is important because it was produced by Brazilian geologists and even today, it is mandatory to consult it, not only for the history of geology, but also for the clarification of research priorities.
这篇论文报告了这本书的出版背景:Geologia do Brasil Com um Mapa Geológico do Brasil e partte dos países vizinhos[巴西地质学]。《巴西及部分邻国地质图》,作者:阿维利诺·德·奥利维拉和奥顿·莱昂纳多,1940年。这本书描述了这个国家和邻近的南美国家的一些地区的地质图。该出版物的封面奇怪地提到了“葡萄牙百年纪念巴西委员会”。这篇参考文献和前言,连同其他出版物,提供了关于20世纪30年代矿物和能源部门的非常有启发性的背景,包括地质学家和参与编写的机构的努力,编写过程中的困难,以及它的出版是如何成为可能的。这张地图很重要,因为它是由巴西地质学家制作的,即使在今天,也必须查阅它,不仅是为了了解地质学的历史,也是为了澄清研究的重点。
