摘要

自1890年这位自学成才的气候变化先驱去世以来，有关詹姆斯·克罗尔生平的大众和学术信息一直在慢慢积累。当前卷中的论文对与克罗尔工作相关的主题进行了全面的评估，但这一贡献旨在为理解詹姆斯·克罗尔这个人以及詹姆斯·克罗尔作为科学和宗教学者提供个人背景。利用档案和出版的资料，重点放在他的生活的选定组成部分和他的传记的一些不太为人所知的特点。这些因素包括他的家族史、他的多处住所、他的健康状况、参加学术团体和对团队合作的态度、经济问题(包括未能获得更多养老金)和友谊。詹姆斯·克罗尔的生活充满了“考验和悲伤”，但从人们对他的喜爱和尊敬中可以清楚地看出，许多人认为他是一个“比他的作品更伟大的人”。

James Croll – a man ‘greater far than his work’

Popular and scholarly information concerning the life of James Croll has been accumulating slowly since the death in 1890 of the self-taught climate change pioneer. The papers in the current volume offer thorough assessments of topics associated with Croll's work, but this contribution seeks to provide a personal context for an understanding of James Croll the man, as well as James Croll the scholar of sciences and religion. Using archival as well as published sources, emphasis is placed upon selected components of his life and some of the less recognised features of his biography. These include his family history, his many homes, his health, participation in learned societies and attitudes to collegiality, financial problems including the failed efforts to secure a larger pension, and friendship. Life delivered a mixture of ‘trials and sorrows’, but it seems clear from the affection and respect accorded him that many looked upon James Croll as a ‘man greater far than his work’.

期刊介绍： Earth and Environmental Science Transactions (formerly Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences) is a general earth sciences journal publishing a comprehensive selection of substantial peer-reviewed research papers, reviews and short communications of international standard across the broad spectrum of the Earth and its surface environments. The journal prides itself on the quality of its graphics and photographic reproduction. The Editors are keen to encourage interdisciplinary papers and Transactions also publishes occasional special symposia and invited volumes of specific interest. We are currently in the process of digitising the archive of RSE Publications, and the archive of the Transactions, dating back to 1788, will be available from the back issues link on this site.
