I found a really good but somewhat dense essay that addresses this question at http://summit.sfu.ca/system/files/iritems1/9412/etd4407.pdf — lots of historical background and analysis, but not overly long.

Piping up a year later to say,
I have some graduate degrees from traditional schools, and because I work for an organization that tends to attract high-powered type-A people, we all have our diplomas framed and hanging in our offices. I put my honorary PhD in Earthology right up there with the rest. It’s a reminder to me to keep a sense of humor. And, on the rare occasions when someone actually looks at my stuff and says “Oh, you have a doctorate!”, I get to be a brand ambassador for AUI. It gets a good laugh and has helped me identify the Lebowski fans at work.
West Africa right now, heading back to DC later this year.
Greetings all — I’m a Dudette with a passion for Earthology. Glad to see everyone here, looking forward to getting to know you.
