For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource Geologist Charles Lapworth taught English at Madras College, St Andrews. Although predominately self-taught in the field of geology, he made significant contributions to research regarding the Southern Uplands. He is mostly remembered for proposing the Ordovician epoch, a new classification of Lower Paleozoic rocks between the Cambrian and the Silurian periods. This term only gained international approval 40 years after his death. His various awards pay merit to his life and research, including the greatest scientific accolade of the Royal Society - the Gold Medal - in 1899. Furthermore, he is immortalised through the glacial Lake Lapworth in what is now western England, bearing his name in recognition of his suggestion of its existence. He left St Andrews in 1881 to become a professor of geology at the University of Birmingham. Lapworth combined his interests in space and the earth, claiming 'Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences, while Geology is one of the newest. But the two sciences have this in common: that to both are granted a magnificence of outlook'.

Description An account of the resource Robert Chambers (1802–71) was the author of one of the most popular and controversial books of the 19th century, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, published in 1844. In it Chambers presented his own theory of evolution, fifteen years before Darwin's Origin of Species(1859). His theory was different from Darwin's in important respects, but played an significant role in paving the way for the ready popular acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Chambers was a wealthy publisher, and, with his brother William, one of the founders of the famous Chambers publishing house in Edinburgh. The book was so controversial that it was published anonymously to protect the author's reputation, and Chambers came to St Andrews in 1841 with his family to write it in secret. The house where he wrote Vestiges has sadly since been demolished. but a house he had built and lived in during his retirement from 1863 until his death in 1871 can still be seen on the Scores.
