L. Sprague de Camp - Lost Continents - 1954

'In this book, one of the world’s leading authorities on the lost-continent mythology attacks this seductive subject with profound scholarship. He demolishes the fantasies of the occult and pseudo-scientific cultists. Then he shows where Plato did get his ideas. The study ranges over every aspect of the lost-continents problem. The book is handsomely illustrated with pictures and maps.’ A MUST-read.
