Title: A geology road trip
Review: I am not sure how to describe a book like this. It's ostensibly about the geology of the Rocky Mountains around Wyoming. However, McPhee is a journalist. Much of the book entails driving around Wyoming with geologist David Love, who grew up on a ranch in the state. There's a lot of Love's biography mixed in here, and the stories of his parents and their ranch. There's also some of Love's views of the changing discipline of geology, especially the declining prestige of field geology. Much of Love's work has implications for hardrock mining, coal mining, or oil and gas development, so McPhee discusses that. Those things have environmental implications, and both Love and McPhee therefore have mixed feelings about the economic development that they would otherwise support.Odd as that mix is, it works. The book is inexplicably compelling, and you feel as if you're in the truck with Love and McPhee, learning to read the geology of Wyoming.
