I have not finished this book. I take it in little bits here and there, and will likely continue to do so throughout my life. It is a masterpiece of geologic natural history. I do not recommend it as your first John McPhee. Most of his books are more accessible than this one. But this book in monumental in scope and content. There is so much here between the geology itself to the characters of geology that McPhee meets during his journey in a west to east transect of North America through the United States.
