The authors, Henri Termier (1897-1989), a geologist and paleontologist, and his wife, Genevieve Termier (1917-2005), a paleontologist and evolutionist, are considered among the greatest French paleontological scientists of the 20th century, with this, 'The Evolution of the Lithosphere,' among their several renowned contributions to their fields. Association Copy: The prior owner, John F. Dewey, is one of the world's leading tectonic geologists and considered to be the 'Father of Modern Plate Tectonics,' having pioneered the field in 1970 with an article co-authored with J.M. Bind. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~VVV~
