William Buckland



William Buckland (1784-1856) was responsible for the world's first scientific description of a dinosaur fossil, although the term "dinosaur" did not exist at the time (the word "dinosauria" was first coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1842). Buckland's 1824 paper was entitled: "Notice on the Megalosaurus or Great Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield".

Buckland was the son of an Anglican parson, and deeply religious. He, devoted much of his life into trying to reconcile Biblical scripture and geology.

Product Description:
Moving away from his earlier belief in a short, catastrophic history of the Earth, Buckland's Treatise envisages instead propounds the theory of a course of progressive change that occured as the Earth gradually cooled and became ready for human occupation. During this time, the creatures that first walked the earth did not die out because they were poorly designed; God loved the dinosaurs and had adapted them to their various circumstances.
