Not my favorite McPhee by far, but still a strong work. There are parts when he gets a little lost in the weeds or conodonts of time, but still, I'm glad enough to have read it. Unfortunately for me, I started with Book 2 of the four major books that make up McPhee's pulitzer prize winning opus Annals of the Former World. Still to go: Book 1: Basin and Range; Book 3: Rising from the Plains; Book 4: Assembling California.

If you haven't read McPhee before, I'd suggest starting with Coming into the Country, The Curve of Binding Energy, Encounters with the Archdruid or A Sense of Where You Are before busting into his geology books.
