A conciliatory, agnostic middle-ground
personal library
Author's attitude towards subject topics seems random; apparent understanding of religion and science community consensus weak

Editorial Review Product Description Can anyone today imagine the earth without its puzzle-piece construction of plate tectonics? The very term, "plate tectonics," coined only thirty-five 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 scientists-players 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. Drawing on the memories of major theoreticians in the field, scientist and historian Naomi Oreskes offers a vivid history of just how that transformation occurred. She describes the early quest on the part of James Dana, Alfred Wegner, J. H. Hodgson, and other scientists to account for the mechanics of earthquakes and certain puzzling features of geomorphology, a quest widened and strengthened by the work of deep-ocean explorers who were able, beginning in the 1960s, to study tectonics at work far below the surface of the world's waters. Such advances, as pioneer Peter Molnar and others explain, did not immediately change the way geologists went about their work, but they quickly went on to revolutionize science--and then, as such things do, to become orthodox. A useful reference for students of geology and the history of science, this book is also easily accessible to nonspecialists. --Gregory McNamee Customer Reviews (4)
Plate Techtonic
Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics is a science that you'd think has been around for a long time, but in fact, not until 1968 has the theory, research, data collection and analysis came together.The movement of relatively static land masses was not a popular idea, especially in the oil industry, where they believed that tectonics was not a viable theory. This book takes us on a journey in history giving us a historical background of continental drift to plate tectonics.What I find extemely interesting about this book is the actual players in the development of the theory are represented here.Giving their accounts and insight into why things are as they are... explaining their thought processes in confirmation of the theory of plate tectonics. Each author gives a piece of the puzzle until there is enough evidence that a workable theory can be developed.These authors tell us in their own words, making for a compelling book about discovery.Also, the reader will find an overview of definitions of terms used throughout the book, this keeps the readers interest as you will not be overburdoned with terms you do not understnd. All in all, this is a very readable book as it explains the science of plate tectonics and the inter-relationship of this science to man's well-being on earth.
Delightful "insiders' history"
Plate Tectonics as told by those that assembled the theory |

Editorial Review Product Description What can a baboon bone tell us about calendars? Why can't we feel the earth moving? How did math contribute to Archimedes' death? A science book unlike any other, Aristotle Leads the Way pairs a gripping narrative style with quirky sidebars; hundreds of charts, maps, and diagrams; experiments to do at home; suggestions for further reading; and excerpts from the writings of great scientists.
