Beschreibung

This edition was translated from the French "les Derniers Secrets de la Terre" by Kenneth Hare in 1956. First published in 1955 by La Table Ronde in Paris, France. THE LAST SECRETS OF THE EARTH is the work of two young French journalists who approach their subject in the true spirit of their profession. In their fascinating researches, they studied not only the existing literature on the various subjects, but they interviewed experts and eye witnesses. The mysteries explored include flying saucers, the underwater researches of Captain Cousteau, the Abominable Snowman, the Coelacanth, active volcanoes, subterranean rivers and the Antarctic. The authors delight in presenting the conflict of opinion which seems inevitable when man is confronted with the unknown. For instance, Gabriel Voisin, the aircraft designer and one of the greatest intelligences of our day, asserts: 'Flying saucers exist.' An authority of the Paris Observatory, on the other hand, says 'What nonsense, the whole thing's a joke'. The pros and cons of each controversy are weighed with an impartial air and the reader is invited to draw his own conclusions from the baffling facts presented in these thought-provoking pages.
