Synopsis

Around 30 years ago, geologists first realized that the continents were drifting across the surface of the globe and that oceans were being created and destroyed. At the same time, the first pictures of the planet were returned from space. Suddenly, the Earth began to be viewed as a single entity; a dynamic, interacting whole, controlled by complex processes we scarcely understood.
