He tells the story of the unrecognized genius who beat Darwin to the discovery of evolution; of Samuel Morse, his code and how rubber allowed the world to talk; of Alfred Wegener, the crack-pot German explorer and father of geology. In breathtaking detail he describes how one island and its inhabitants were blasted out of existence and how colonial society was turned upside-down in a cataclysm whose echoes are still felt to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWell illustrated with monochrome line diagrams and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent original condition, light handling wear on dust jacket and spotting on page edges.
