It is not everyday that one embraces the memoirs of two distinguished geologists, twin brothers Morris and Richard Viljoen.
Following their university endeavours, both embarked on careers linked to the South African mining industry. Their academic achievements were such that they never abandoned the quest for scientific knowledge, blending both corporate and research accomplishments.
Their exploits, either together or separately, have taken them to many far-flung places around the globe, establishing strong bonds of friendship and expertise. Their enthralling account should benefit young geologists starting their careers, as it demonstrates what can be done if some effort is expended in the devotion and dedication to the task of honing skills and ploughing back, willingly, this experience and expertise to the geological fraternity.
This book, therefore, provides an admirable example of how two lives, dedicated to geology, have achieved pinnacles of success.
