John McPhee All Books Editorial Review
Annals of the Former World by John McPhee is an informative and readable introduction to geology, perfect for those who want to learn about it. McPhee uses individual geologists' stories to present the history of each section of the land. The book is large and heavy but is worth it. The book helps change the way you perceive everyday surroundings and lets you understand place, time, and impact. The book includes some tedious and opaque renditions of terminology, and the narrative is rambling, but McPhee's profound fascination with geology and geologists and their personalities are well conveyed with affection. The book may have been better with fewer details and more structure. The book has an awful lot of information, and it demonstrates the problem of scientists trying to make sense of all this information.
