| Summary | This collection of papers focuses on the potential of myth storylines to yield data and lessons that are of value to the geological sciences. The geological hazards (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and cosmic impacts) that have given rise to myths are considered, as are the sacred and cultural values associated with rocks, fossils, geological formations and landscapes. There are also discussions about the historical and literary perspectives of geomythology. |
