Abstract
IN the first part of this book, the authors have A deliberately 'taken sides', in an endeavour to place much-debated topics in geophysics and tectonics clearly before the student. For example, Wegener's continental drift theory is presented in a much more favourable light than customary. No harm will be done to the student by this method of treatment provided he realizes that he is receiving one point of view. Incidentally, it is pleasant to see that regrettable term “betwixt-mountains” somewhat frowned upon.
