Author Information

John Allen Howe O.B.E. started his career as a field geologist, first at the Royal College of Science in London, and then with the Geological Survey of Great Britain. However, his preference was for applied geology rather than fundamental research. In 1902 he became curator and librarian of the Museum of Practical Geology, a post he held until 1920 when he was appointed assistant to the director of the Geological Survey, retiring in 1931.
