Description:
This acclaimed collection of essays by our "dean of Literary journalists" (Baltimore Sun) begins with the title essay and a trip to Nevada, where, in the company of a brand inspector. John McPhee discovers that cattle rustling is not just history. People, places, and events as unlikely as a virgin forest in central New Jersey, a blind writer-professor and his computer, an auction of exotic cars, a forensic geologist on a murder case, a mountain of forty-four million scrap tires, and a repair day for Plymouth Rock shade the scenes and substance of the other essays. McPhee is at the top of his form, his writing full of ideas in force, of attempts at progress, of a world endlessly flexed with promise" (San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle Book Review).
