Title: Not quite what I was looking for
Product review: I was looking for a natural history of the white mountains. Sargent's book is more of a journal with some interesting asides on biological topics but I felt I was skipping over a lot of the content looking for something new. I also did not feel much confidence in the science, where I could find it. When an authority consistently mis-spells the younger dryas as the younger drydas it doesn't instill much confidence. I'm also not sure that the asteroid that hit the Yucatan causing the extinction of the dinosaurs was the size of Texas. I don't think anybody knows that. Overall, it was a bit simplistic and wearisome to read. Not what I was looking for.
