Royal Institution Christmas Lectures

James Jackson: Planet Earth: An explorer's guide

The 1995 CHRISTMAS LECTURES trace the story of how and why our views on the Earth have changed - from a fumbling suspicion that continents had moved around, through a detailed reconstruction of how the pieces fit together, to the present, where we can measure the motions directly and see them going on. It is a story in which chasing a clue to one puzzle has often produced unexpected results and paradoxes.
