This milestone book, which is published to coincide with the first Centennial of the Royal Geological and Mining Society of the Netherlands (1912 - 2012), summarises the multiple achievements of Dutch geologists and mining engineers. It places the significance of what has been achieved in scientific, societal and economic contexts.

Dutch geologists and mining engineers have made fundamental contributions to many scientific and technological advances, and this timely and abundantly illustrated book should appeal to all those with an interest in the history of both pure and applied Earth Science.
