Lovely writing, as Mr. McPhee is known for. This is from his series in The New Yorker, circa 1980, and deals with the ideas stemming from plate tectonics when discussing the Far West, especially Nevada. My copy, kindly supplied by a PBS comrade, is from the 12th printing.
No index, maps, bibliography, illustrations, etc. It would have been a better book if he had bothered to add such.
