Quite good description of the Earth and geologic processes from the years, when plate tectonics was a kind of proposal, which only started to gain the common acceptance (the book was first published in 1968). The text is simple but the information is relatively exhaustive. The book bears a number of good illustrations.The author was professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Paris.
