摘要

詹姆斯·赫顿的声誉在国际地质学界得到了广泛认可，但在他的引言一章中，艾伦·麦克尔迪哀叹苏格兰启蒙运动中如此重要的人物在他的祖国却没有享有同等的声誉。有吸引力的新版苏格兰国家博物馆传记应该会在一定程度上纠正这种不平衡，鉴于赫顿诞辰2026周年，该书的出版是及时的。封面上的十字条幅承诺“修订和扩大”，相对于1997年第一版及其后的修订版，这一说法当然是合理的。

James Hutton. The Founder of Modern Geology, by Alan McKirdy. National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh. 2022

James Hutton's reputation is widely recognised in geological circles internationally, but in his introductory chapter, Alan McKirdy laments the contradiction that such an important character of the Scottish Enlightenment does not enjoy equivalent celebrity in his homeland. The attractive new edition of National Museums Scotland's biography should go some way towards correcting that imbalance, and in view of the 2026 tercentenary of Hutton's birth the publication is timely. A cross-corner banner on the front cover promises “revised and expanded” and, relative to the first edition of 1997 and its subsequent revisions, the claim is certainly justified.

期刊介绍： Although published only since 1965, the Scottish Journal of Geology has a long pedigree. It is the joint publication of the Geological Society of Glasgow and the Edinburgh Geological Society, which prior to 1965 published separate Transactions: from 1860 in the case of Glasgow and 1863 for Edinburgh. Traditionally, the Journal has acted as the focus for papers on all aspects of Scottish geology and its contiguous areas, including the surrounding seas. The publication policy has always been outward looking, with the Editors encouraging review papers and papers on broader aspects of the Earth sciences that cannot be discussed solely in terms of Scottish geology. The diverse geology of Scotland continues to provide an important natural laboratory for the study of earth sciences; many seminal studies in geology have been carried out on Scottish rocks, and over the years the results of much of this work had been published in the Journal and its predecessors. The Journal fully deserves its high reputation worldwide and intends to maintain its status in the front rank of publications in the Earth sciences.
