| Zusammenfassung |
| The Annual General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (and EGS before it) has always provided a platform for the reporting and debate of high quality geoscience in a very focussed manner. The breadth of its sections and sessions allows most geoscientists to present their work to like-minded colleagues or interdisciplinarily. However, many geoscientists have even wider interests: interests in history, art, politics and economics. Many have diverse abilities in music, painting, sculpture, and practice them as amateurs or to a high standard.
Today we fill the gap, by providing a session with the broadest of scopes: History, culture, art and religion in the geosciences
I hope that the session will appeal to all those geoscientists who wish to practice their science in the context of the wider culture. According to William Blake
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
Only, in our case it is more like an hour and a half, and I hope it does not seem like an eternity! |
