Title: Cowboy Geology at its best
Product review: Discover or rediscover the excitement of geology with John McPhee as he travels the west with geologist Kenneth S. Deffeyes. As they explore the geological past in the American present you never know what will happen or where they will take you. They may get rich at an old silver mine, discover a past or future ocean, or touch an angular unconformity. To some extent they do all of this and to give a history of geology at the same time.The author effectively conveys the violence, drama, and epic immediacy of geological study. I look forward to future geological travels through his books.
