Описание: This first volume of The Continental Drift Controversy covers the period in the early 1900s when Wegener first identified that the Earth`s major landmasses could be fitted together like a jigsaw and went on to propose that the continents had once been joined together in a single landmass.

Описание: This second volume of The Continental Drift Controversy describes the growing paleomagnetic case for continental drift in the 1950s and the development of apparent polar wander paths that showed how the continents had changed their positions relative to one another, just as Wegener had proposed.

Описание: This fourth volume of The Continental Drift Controversy explains the discoveries in the mid 1960s which led to the rapid acceptance of seafloor spreading theory and how the birth of plate tectonics followed soon after with the geometrification of geology. Plate tectonics continues to inspire geodynamic research to the present day.

Описание:

Secord gives a dazzlingly detailed account of this scientific trench warfare and its social consequences. One ends up with a marvellous feeling for the major taxonomic enterprises in Darwin's younger day: mapping, ordering, conquering 'taming the chaos" of the strata. All of these of course had social and imperial ramifications; and Secord mentions geology's moral appeal (in supporting a divinely-stratified Creation) to a beleaguered elite intent on subduing the lower orders.
