Menard begins with the leading hypotheses (such as that the earth expands) and the supporting evidence for each. He traces the crucial work of the 1960s year by year as researchers debated hypotheses in correspondence and at frequent meetings. Throughout the book Professor Menard considers the implications of his story for the sociology of science and the goals of scientific research. Originally published in 1986.

This report provides background information on a world-wide set of ocean depths and land elevations recently compiled in meters and averaged over areas roughly equivalent to one degree squares of latitude and longitude at the equator. Averaging was done by visual estimation from contour charts having scales ranging between 1:1 and 1:25 million with contour intervals of 1000 meters or 200 fathoms. A description of the source charts, square referencing, averaging methods, error checks and estimates, is included.
