Plate Tectonics: An Insider's History Of The Modern Theory Of The Earth,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Can anyone today imagine the earth without its puzzlepiece construction of plate tectonics? The very term, 'plate tectonics,' coined only thirtyfive years ago, is now part of the vernacular, part of everyone's understanding of the way the earth works.The theory, research, data collection, and analysis that came together in 1967 to constitute plate tectonics is one of the great scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century. Scholarly books have been written about tectonics, but none by the key scientistsplayers themselves. In Plate Tectonics , editor Naomi Oreskes has assembled those scientists who played key roles in developing the theory to tell for the first time, and in their own words the stories of their involvement in the extraordinary evolution of the theory.The book opens with an overview of the history of plate tectonics, including incontext definitions of the key terms that are discussed throughout the book. Oreskes explains how the forerunners of the theory, Wegener and du Toit, inspired how scientists working at the key academic institutions Cambridge and Princeton Universities, Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Geological Observatory, and the University of CaliforniaSan Diego's Scripps Institute of Oceanography competed and collaborated until the theory coalesced in 1967.
