The Continents Are Moving. No One Believed Him. When Alfred Wegener first looked at a map, he saw a broken puzzle. The coastlines of Africa and South America seemed to fit perfectly-a clue that led him to a radical conclusion: the Earth's landmasses were once fused into a single supercontinent, Pangea, that drifted apart over millions of years. In 1915, Wegener published his theory of continental drift, backed by matching fossils, identical rock formations, and ancient climate evidence. But the established scientific community rejected him, ridiculing his ideas as the "ramblings of a dreamer." A meteorologist by trade, he was branded an outsider and died years before his vision was finally proved right. This is the dramatic story of Alfred Wegener's life-part pioneering Arctic explorer, part revolutionary scientist-and the decades-long scientific battle that saw his rejected theory of continental drift ultimately transform into the bedrock of modern geology: Plate Tectonics. Discover the truth that shook the foundations of science and the man who saw the world move when everyone else saw only stone. Approx.170 pages, 29400 word count
