It documents a period when geologists were rapidly developing increasingly sophisticated ways to understand the subsurface, helping transform both Texas and the modern world. That scientific progress also enabled an enormous expansion in fossil-fuel extraction whose atmospheric and climatic consequences were not yet broadly understood or incorporated into the industry’s development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViewed from the present, the volume therefore captures an important chapter in the complicated history of applied science: remarkable advances in geology and our understanding of the Earth, intertwined with an energy system whose environmental consequences would become increasingly apparent in the decades that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent historical reference for collectors interested in \u003cstrong\u003egeology, Earth science, Texas history, environmental history, the history of energy, or vintage scientific publications.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOccurrence of Oil and Gas in West Texas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frank A.
