A review by alexwont
In Suspect Terrain by John McPhee

This was "HARD" science, much like a geology textbook, with some intermittent narrative. Because much of the science, and the acompanying vernacular, was above my head, I have abstained from a 1-5 star rating. I could very easily pan it with a 1, or conversely it could have earned a 5. For me, it might have been complemented with maps, although perhaps McPhee abstained from using them for a reason.

It was interesting, nonetheless, and I'm glad I took the time to read it. My favorite parts were the bits detailing the history of science.
