Susan's review of Annals of the Former World
Annals of the Former World by John McPhee
I forgot that I read this book earlier in the summer, while vacationing in Jackson Hole. I liked it, really made the geology of the place come alive. Really helps you get outside your anthropocentric head, think big-scale, not worry so much that humans are turning the planet to shit. The earth is strong, and will survive us. It will be hear, full of life, billions of years after we're gone. I do confess that I found parts of this book repetitive, but I enjoyed the Wyoming and California sections immensely.
