The clearest, simple explanation of Plate Tectonics in print

This book is not out of print. The 2nd edition is still published by Geo-Resources Associates, 2236 Bunker Hill Drive, San Mateo, CA 94402. "An extremely lucid account of how plate tectonics works" is what an early review in Geotimes reported. The book is designed for the layperson with no background in geology. It was used in more than 250 different colleges and universities in teaching introductory geology, oceanography, and paleontology. The author has also written a definitive history of part of the plate tectonics revolution, thus this little book benefits from his deep understanding of the subject. He is able to explain the most complicated aspects in ways that appeal to the novice. Its clarity is singular.
