Faber and Faber, London, 2004, 1st pr.  ISBN 0-571-21790-7.  Trade soft cover, 495 pages.  Very good; light reading creases; bit of soil on outer page block, remainder mark on bottom edge.  Dust jacket mirrors wraps, price sticker on lower front flap, short edge tears at spine head repaired on verso.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanning pages.  ‘Douglas Pitt is a man obsessed.  Laughed at, mocked, and dismissed at every turn, Pitt has spent the best part of an unremarkable academic career attempting to prove the genius of Samuel Highgate Syme (b. 1794, Baltimore; soldier, geologist, inventor).  Pitt’s postulation is simple enough:  that Syme, through some fault, wrong-doing, conspiracy or mischance, has not been credited with the recognition he deserves for hitting upon a key discovery in the advance of modern science – the theory of continental drift.’ (from front flap)
