The Glacial Controversy in New Zealand.
Londra, Geological Magazine, 1917, 8vo estratto con copertina originale, pp. 241/245 - ! ATTENZIONE !: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - ! ATTENTION !: : NOT A BOOK : 'estratto' or 'stralcio' means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from' 'to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

New Zealand and My Forbidden Theory of Mountain Uplift : Part III of the West Indies and the Mountain Uplift Problem
West Hartlepool [UK], Privately printed by B.T.Ord, February 1950.. orig.wrappers. 22x14cm, 35,(7) pp. Cover title.. 7 folding diagram plates.. A piece clipped from cover corner. Good.
¶ ["The survey geologist, Charles Alfred Matley (1866-1947), recognised a Precambrian or Palaeozoic Basal Complex under Jamaica and the Caribbean...Existence of a Basal Complex remains unproven and unlikely. The principal opponent to the Basal Complex hypothesis was the only other major expert on the geology of Jamaica at this time, the independently wealthy amateur Charles Taylor Trechmann....Trechmann's theory suggested that uplift of mountains was the product of lunar attraction, reinforced by pressure at depth produced by deep columns of ocean water which also induced metamorphic changes at relatively shallow crustal depths... The Theory of Mountain Uplift was widely ignored at a time when the status of the amateur in geology was waning and Trechmann lacked disciples to spread his ideas. His was the last parochial theory of Antillean tectonics and is remembered for its errors, as seen from a present where plate tectonics provide the framework for all geology, rather than its adherence to the fixist research programmes of the first half of the 20th Century...." - Stephen K.
