Tuzo is the never-before-told story of one of Canada's most
influential scientists and the discovery of plate tectonics, a
pivotal development that forever altered how we think of our
planet. In 1961, a Canadian geologist named John "Jock" Tuzo Wilson
(1908-1993) jettisoned decades of strongly held opposition to
theories of moving continents and embraced the idea that they drift
across the surface of the Earth. Tuzo tells the fascinating life
story of Tuzo Wilson, from his early forays as a teenaged
geological assistant working on the remote Canadian Shield in the
1920s to his experiences as a civilian-soldier in the Second World
War to his ultimate role as the venerated father of plate
tectonics. Illuminating how science is done, this book blends
Tuzo's life story with the development of the theory of plate
tectonics, showing along the way how scientific theories are
debated, rejected, and accepted. Gorgeously illustrated, Tuzo will
appeal to anyone interested in the natural world around them.
