MALAISE, RENÉ: A NEW DEAL IN GEOLOGY, GEOGRAPHY AND RELATED SCIENCES. Lidingö, René Malaise, 1969. 8vo. 328 pp. 88 text illustrations. ¶ First edition in English, revised, of Atlantis : en geologisk verklighet : jordskorpans rörelser, dess orsaker och verkningar : nya rön och åsikter (Stockholm 1951), a much critized and ridiculed book where Malaise defends the "constriction theory" of paleozoologist Nils Odhner. Odhner claims that the Alfred Wegener theory of plate tectonics is incorrect and that migration of species has been supported by a sunken continent in the Atlantic, i.e. Atlantis.
