The book tried to explain the tectonic theory for general public. The author wrote the history of the theory since the beginning of the idea to the recent development.The object wasn't an easy object to explain in everyday words. But the author had succeed her 'report' on the development of plate tectonic theory in such detail yet comprehensible. It would be more interesting if she added some figures.
The stories are much richer than in this book, but no one else has attempted to take on the history of the modern earth sciences across the many divisions.
Absolutely fascinating. While I was reading it I was thinking, "I can't believe I'm reading this."
A must read to understand what and how we view the inside of our planet
