Uncommon Carriers by John McPhee
2.0
About large modes of transportation (semi trucks, barges, trains, etc…) and the people who operate them on a daily basis
Themes: transportation, economy, anecdotes
Some sections were more interesting than others. I loved the beginning about the trucker (hilarious fellow) and the train section and the section on barges on the river were informative and interesting. A section about training to operate ships and one about a canoe trip did not thrill me. The writing style was (mostly) quite dry and this wasn't my favorite topic.
