Full Description

Before the term "outreach" was in common currency, Eric Robinson was inspiring geologists and non-geologists alike by highlighting the geology that is on show anywhere and everywhere. Through his massive depth of knowledge, not just of geology but of history and architecture, he has introduced the public at large to the wonders of geology while bringing diverse members of the geological community together. Ericdotes is an affectionate collection of stories by just some of the people Eric Robinson has taught, inspired and encouraged.
