Our Mobile Earth: Illustrated with Maps, Diagrams and Photographs

New York: Charles Scribner's and Son, 1926. First Edition. Octavo. Item #018575

348 pages, index. 187 illustrations including photographs and maps. From photographs of Yokohama to the San Francisco Earthquake, he also has maps of specific places and much on specific earthquakes. This volume still remains important for that reason but also he in this work endorsed continental drift and offered a mechanism for it. It is no wonder that the next year he reviewed Alexander Du Toit's The Geology of South Africa favorably which placed him in the small minority of North American geoscientist who favored the drift theory. Bound in original red cloth, spine lettering gilt. A very good copy with light wear to spine ends.

Price: $150.00
