| "..The Earth's
rotation is central to the evolution of planetary geology and clearly imprinted
on global structure, yet it is entirely omitted from Plate Tectonics...."
"...The book describes how
crustal crumpling by plate collision is a myth, how preservation of stratigraphic
sequence on the crust is the result of outwards growth of the planet as
epicontinental seas recede, how mountains cannot be formed by the collision
of plates but are simply the eroded remnants of plateaus, how orogenesis
(which does result in crustal deformation) is a result of surficial gravitational
correction as the crust detaches from the mantle and collapses as it adjusts
to the increasing size (decreasing curvature) of the Earth in response
to mantle breakthrough. ...how the architecture of spin inscripted in the
Earth's crust leads axiomatically to the unavoidable conclusion that the
Earth is getting bigger,"

" ....The central
text is geological - debunking the myths of Plate Tectonics and advancing
the case for Earth expansion. The subtext takes the academic profession
to task for its decades of failure to address the obvious conundrums and
contradictions of Plate Tectonics, failure to honestly dissect and reject
those deficiencies, failure to consider useful alternatives, and failure
for sacrificing the enthusiasm and trust of youthful enquiry on the altar
of their self-serving career interest. To say that for all its faults
Plate Tectonics as a theory is "the best we have" is a sham that disgraces
science at its heart and an indictment of the career professionals who
have learned how to milk it, and do so unashamedly."
