Tripling as a geology primer, an autobiography and a panorama of the nation, bejeweled with splendid vignettes and set-pieces, ""Annals of the Former World"" offers a view of America like no other. It is the outpouring of a master stylist. Yield to its geopoetry and have your eyes opened to a barely known aspect of the continent. Roy Porter, "Los Angeles Times"
John McPhee has produced, over nearly a quarter of a century, a deep philology of the continent. "Annals of the Former World" is surely a classic. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was timeless. "A.O. Scott, Village Voice""
