  • Well, am geophysicist for 20+ years, and I teach this stuff, but the best source I remember reading is "The Rejection of Continental Drift: Theory and Method in American Earth Science" by Naomi Oreskes.

If Al stuck with his detailed phenomenological approach, there may have been wider adoption of his detailed and careful observations.
