 "Plates
vs. Plumes". A Geological Controversy.
Professor Gillian Foulger, N.E.G.S. University
Liaison Officer and winter Lecture Programme
Organiser, is Professor of Geophysics at the University of Durham where she
has worked since 1985 on earthquake seismology and plate tectonics. She lived
and researched in Iceland for seven years, where she acquired a mistrust of
theories that do not fit practical observations without distortion. She
manages the world-famous website www.mantleplumes.org
and is widely acclaimed for leading the global debate regarding the
existence of mantle plumes. For this she was awarded the prestigious Price
Medal by the Royal Astronomical Society in 2005.
This book will be
indispensable to Earth scientists from all specialities who are interested in
this new subject. It will be suitable as a reference work for those teaching
relevant classes, and an ideal text for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students studying plate tectonics and related topics.

 This book is a geological history of Britain from over 2,000 million years ago to the present
day and describes the enormous variety
of rocks, minerals and fossils that form
this fascinating island. The modern concept
of plate tectonics explains how two
separate halves of Britain, divided by 7000 km of ocean 500 million years ago, came together and slowly drifted north from the Southern to the
Northern Hemisphere. This journey, a
distance of 12,000 km for southern
Britain, has resulted in the enormous variety of British rocks that represent, tropical, desert, temperate
and glacial climates.
An introductory chapter covers the fundamental principles of geology and is followed by further chapters that describe the
rocks, minerals and fossils of the recognised periods of geological
time, and the areas where they are found
today. The book is written for the
lay person interested in the great
variety of Britain's rocks and
landscapes but also includes a wealth
of information for students at all
levels.
