Book Reviews of Annals of the Former World
Book Review: A Delicious Tome
Summary: 5 Stars
If you wish to know a lot more about a tough subject, go for this tasty and readable overview by a wonderful writer. John McPhee knows how to cover dense material in such a discursive and anecdotal way that one can open the huge book at any page and have one's interest engaged directly. Mr. McPhee accompanied a variety of field geologists on their travels. His book is a record of both who they are and what they told him. At the beginning of the book you may be daunted by its size, but by the end of the book, you will be sorry there isn't more. This is a truly entertaining way to have your mind expanded magnificently.
