4. Geological science and new paradigms

As well as sproviding an overview of recolonisation thinking in sections 1-3, our aim is to identify and explore the numerous areas where radical geological thinking is long overdue. Some contributions are to be found elsewhere on the Web, and all we have to do is provide links. Other contributions are only found here and are written specifically to stimulate thought and to give pointers to further research.
