Charles Lyell, the father of modern Geology (although I disagree). Lyell was the student of James Hutton and through them the uniformitarianism vs catastrophism argument was born. Lyell is incredibally important to modern sciences and Sir Charles Darwin himself states in "The Origin of the Species" that if you have not read Lyell's book, to immediately put down Origin and read Principles first. Without Lyell's concept of Deep Time (or geologic time) evolution (and all of geology for that matter) cannot exist

I practically devoured this during a sick day, and, though it certainly didn’t make me feel any better; worse, actually, it’s a very good, affecting read. At points it reads like gorgeous poetry, at other times like a punch square in the face. I fretted, I cried, I had to take breathers, but I am not unhappy I read this. It made me unhappy, yes, but it was well worth it.
