Road to Jaramillo Critical Years of the Revolution in Earth Science

This is the story, told here for the first time, of how an international cast of scientists produced the discoveries that brought about the plate-tectonics revolution. In preparing this book the author interviewed virtually all of the important contributors to that critical decade of research, 1957-66. Working in the tradition of history of science, he explores personal relationships, institutional support, and the rivalries and frictions between and within research groups.Glen, William is the author of 'Road to Jaramillo Critical Years of the Revolution in Earth Science' with ISBN 9780804711197 and ISBN 0804711194.
