Some questions about the book titled the History of Development of Geological Sciences in China

The monograph A History of the Development of Geological Science in China is more a history of the development of China's geological cause than a history of the development of China's geological sciences. The book's description of the first geological college in New China is false. Furthermore, the author of this article questions the book's description of several historical facts related to China's oil surveys, coalfield geological exploration, and uranium geological exploration in the 1950s, as well as its profiles of key figures. The most important thing for a history book is to provide true and reliable history. However, the book A History of the Development of Geological Science in China falls far short of reliable history in the areas I'm familiar with.

Abstract

The monograph A History of the Development of Geological Science in China is more a history of the development of China's geological cause than a history of the development of China's geological sciences. The book's description of the first geological college in New China is false. Furthermore, the author of this article questions the book's description of several historical facts related to China's oil surveys, coalfield geological exploration, and uranium geological exploration in the 1950s, as well as its profiles of key figures. The most important thing for a history book is to provide true and reliable history. However, the book A History of the Development of Geological Science in China falls far short of reliable history in the areas I'm familiar with.
