The famous geological research ship Glomar Challenger was a
radically new instrument that revolutionized earth science in the
same sense that the cyclotron revolutionized nuclear physics, and
its deep-sea drilling voyages, conducted from 1968 through 1983,
were some of the great scientific adventures of our time. Beginning
with the vessel's first cruises, which lent support to the idea of
continental drift, the Challenger played a key part in the widely
publicized plate-tectonics revolution and its challenge to more
conventional theories. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
