Dear Professor Tombaugh:
Reference is made to brief discussions at AGU meetings, in 1964 and
1965, regarding my studies related to a three-dimensional least-squares
analysis of volcano distributions made at tha/t time pursuant to testing
certain geological implications of applying a dual primeval planet hypothesis to the Earth. This letter summarizes the present status of the
project.
Very little has been reported regarding the hypothesis during the
past six years. Although some oral presentations were made, nothing
was offered for publication since nothing seemed really finished until
comparatively recently. Now, however, I should like to report that work
has recently been completed on the forthcoming book, The Evolution of
the Earth's Teotonosphere, based on a tectonospherio Earth model derived
from the hypothesis.
After considerable discussion with interested colleagues and some
preliminary discussion with book publishers, it was decided that there
should be several follow-on books, based on the same basio tectonospherio
Earth model as that used in The Evolution of the Earth's Teotonosphere.
Tentative titles of the first two follow-on volumes are:
a. The Evolution of the Earth-Moon System during the Period
from 4»6 to 3.6 Billion Years Ago. (In preparation with a co-author;
the publisher has agreed, in principle, on the soope and format).
b. The Origin and Evolution of the Earth's Surfioial Features as Mani fe at at i ons of Its Internal Behavior during the Past 3*6*
Billion Years. (Tentative outline in the hands of the prospective
co-authors).
In view of your earlier interest in the projeot, I should like to
determine your present interest, in order that I may know whether to
send you details regarding the tectonospherio Earth model. Questions
are always welcome, of course.
Sincerely yours,
