Resolution of the sixty year debate over continental drift, culminating in the triumph of plate tectonics, changed the very fabric of Earth Science. This four-volume treatise on the continental drift controversy is the first complete history of the origin, debate and gradual acceptance of this revolutionary theory. Based on extensive interviews, archival papers and original works, Frankel weaves together the lives and work of the scientists involved, producing an accessible narrative for scientists and non-scientists alike. This third volume describes the expansion of the land-based paleomagnetic case for drifting continents and recounts the golden age of marine geology and geophysics. Fuelled by the Cold War, US and British workers led the way in making discoveries and forming new hypotheses, especially about the origin of oceanic ridges. When first proposed,seafloor spreading was just one of several competing hypotheses about the evolution of ocean basins.

Based on extensive interviews, archival papers and original works, Frankel weaves together the lives and work of the scientists involved, producing an accessible narrative for scientists and non-scientists alike. This second volume provides the first extensive account of the growing paleomagnetic case for continental drift in the 1950s and the development of Apparent Polar Wander Paths that showed how the continents had changed their positions relative to one another more or less as Wegener had proposed. Paleomagnetism offered the first physical measure that continental drift had occurred and helped determine the changing latitudes of the continents through geologic time.

"La storia di una gigantesca, meravigliosa nave e del suo fatale viaggio inaugurale è così ricca di simbolismi che avremmo dovuto inventarla. E invece è accaduta, in una gelida e limpida notte d'aprile. Ed è accaduta a persone vere, fochisti e milionari, dame dell'alta società e cameriere. L'intreccio delle loro voci e dei loro ricordi ci consente di issarci su quella tolda inclinata e domandarci: cosa avremmo fatto noi? E il mito inaffondabile riemerge alla vita."

Voted by the London Times as one of the best writers since 1945, Michael Moorcock has long been considered one of the top names in science fiction and fantasy. Here, Moorcock has personally selected his best published and unpublished essays, articles, reviews, and opinions—all uncensored. Covering a wide range of topics including books, films, politics, reminiscences of old friends, and attacks on new foes, this collection is the definitive compilation for any serious fan of Moorcock, or science fiction in general. Drawn from more than 50 years of writing, including Moorcock's most recent work from the Los Angeles Times and the Guardian—along with obscure and now unobtainable sources—the prose in this compendium showcases Moorcock at his sharpest.

Before writing this more literary work set in Italy among the English expatriots, Henry Harland (1861-1905) wrote far more sensational novels set in the immigrant Jewish neighborhoods of New York City under the pen name "Sidney Luska." Born a Protestant in Connecticut, "Luska" claimed to be from St. Petersburg and ironically was called "the first Jewish-American novelist."
