By way of introduction, we are a Chemistry and an English professor who=
have written and taught together concerning the rhetoric of science, in=
particular the use of imagery and speculation to advance new ideas.

journal =91Science & Education.=92
Although we are pushing the deadline, we would like to organize a panel=
for the SLS conference in Austin. We are seeking a colleague in
geology or earth sciences who would be interested in joining us on a
panel to consider the implications of the plate tectonics revolution on=
our concepts of space and time of. We are particularly interested in
the 1962 piece by Harry Hess on the =93History of the ocean basins=94 =
and
the influence of this speculative writing on the tectonics revolution.
Thanks. If interested, you may reply to me directly at
