Author: MCPHEE, JOHN
Title: In Suspect Terrain
Description: New York, Farrar, Straus & Giroux. 1987. (ISBN: 0374517940). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ copy with an inscription to front endpaper. The book is a narrative of the earth, told in four sections of equal length, each in a different way reflecting the three others - a biography; a set piece about a fragment of Appalachian landscape in illuminating counterpoint to the human history there; a modern collision of ideas about the origins of the mountain range; and in contrast, a century old collision of ideas about the existence of the Ice Age. 4 geological tables. 50. Very Good/No Jacket.
