The continental drift controversy. 3, Introduction of seafloor spreading /
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 revol...

- 1.6 The 1962 anthology Continental Drift and MacDonald's review of it1.7 Blackett turns to paleoclimatology; 1.8 Deutsch proposes continental drift without polar wandering; 1.9 The 1963 Newcastle NATO conference; 1.10 Bucher continues to criticize mobilism at the NATO conference; 1.11 Harland and Rudwick link mobilism, the Great Infra-Cambrian Ice Age and the burgeoning of Cambrian fauna; 1.12 Responses of some biogeographers to the paleomagnetic case for continental drift; 1.13 Hamilton welcomes paleomagnetism's support of mobilism.
- 1.14 Kay and Colbert reassess mobilism because of its paleomagnetic support1.15 Japanese rock magnetists avoid accepting the paleomagnetic case for mobilism; 1.16 Further poles from Australia, 1958-1964; 1.17 Further poles from Africa: the Salisbury (Harare) Group and further work at the Bernard Price Institute, Johannesburg, 1959-1964; 1.18 Convergence of paleomagnetism and paleoclimatology at Canberra, 1959-1966; Notes; 2: Reception of the paleomagnetic case for mobilism by several notables: 1957-1965; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Gutenberg's career.
- 2.3 Gutenberg supports mobilism during the 1920s and 1930s2.4 In the 1950s Gutenberg reconsiders mobilism and appeals to paleomagnetism; 2.5 Vening Meinesz reconsiders mobilism; 2.6 Vening Meinesz becomes favorably inclined toward mobilism because of its paleomagnetic support; 2.7 MacDonald denies mantle convection and Runcorn responds; 2.8 MacDonald renews his attack on the paleomagnetic case for mobilism; 2.9 Harold Jeffreys, his career; 2.10 Jeffreys renews his attack on mobilism in the first Harold Jeffreys Lecture; 2.11 Bullard's journey to mobilism: his early career.
- 2.12 Bullard considers mantle convection and measures ocean floor heat flow2.13 Bullard begins to consider mobilism seriously; 2.14 Bullard recognizes that all obstacles to the paleomagnetic case had been removed and becomes a mobilist; 2.15 Bullard squabbles with geologists about the contributions of geology and geophysics to the mobilism debate; 2.16 Arthur Holme's attitude to the paleomagnetic case for mobilism; 2.17 Mobilism's solution to divergent APW paths, its difficulty-free status.
