Publisher: The New Yorker, 20 Oct. 1980. in The New Yorker, 20 Oct. 1980, pp. 58-136. The first appearance in print of this work. ‘Most mountain ranges around the world are the result of compression, of segments of the earth’s crust being brought together, bent, mashed, thrust and folded, squeezed up into the sky— the Himalaya, the Appalachians, the Alps, the Urals, the Andes. The ranges of the Basin and Range came up another way, The crust— in this region between the Rockies and the Sierra— is spreading out, being stretched, being thinned, being literally pulled to pieces. The sites of Reno and Salt Lake City, on opposite sides of the province, have moved apart fifty miles. The crust of the Great Basin has broken into blocks… irregular in shape. They… suggest stretch marks. Which they are.’ Stock# 27,282. American geology, the West, American literature, belles-lettres.

Basin and Range.

The Basin and Range is the physiographic province of the United States that reaches from eastern Utah to eastern California, a silent world of austere beauty, of hundreds of discrete high mountain ranges green with junipers and often white with snow, a spectacular topography that is… expanding, spreading. The sites of Reno and Salt Lake City have moved apart fifty miles in eight million years… With fascinating digressions into the plate-tectonics revolution and the history of the geologic time scale, McPhee frames his setting and the rock and the people it contains.'

McPhee, John, b. 1931.
The Control of Nature.
Publisher: NY, Farrar Straus Giroux [1989]. ‘Second printing'. Three essays: Atchafalaya; Cooling the Lava; Los Angeles against the Mountains. McPhee's interest ‘had first been sparked when he went into the Atchafalaya-- the largest river swamp in North America-- and had learned that virtually all of its waters were metered and rationed by a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' project called Old River Control. …In Iceland, in 1973, an island split open without warning and huge volumes of lava began moving in the direction of… Iceland's premier fishing port… On the big island of Hawaii, one of the world's two most eruptive hot spots, people are not unmindful of the Icelandic example. …Some of the more expensive real estate in Los Angeles is up against mountains that are rising and disintegrating as rapidly as any in the world. …At extraordinary expense the city has built a hundred and fifty stadium-like basins in a daring effort to catch the debris. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking is his vivid depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those who would attempt to wrest control from her-- stubborn, often ingenious, and always arresting characters.' 272 p., illus.; dj; remainder mark; near fine. 27276

Rising from the Plains.
Publisher: NY, Farrar Straus Giroux [‘Second printing, 1986']. ‘Sometimes it is said of geologists that they reflect in their professional styles the sort of country in which they grew up. Nowhere could that be more true than in the life of a geologist born in the center of Wyoming and raised on an isolated ranch. This is the story of that ranch, soon after the turn of the century, and of the geologist who grew up there, at home with the composition of the high country in the way that someone growing up in a coastal harbor would be at home with the vagaries of the sea. …Following 'Basin and Range' and 'In Suspect Terrain', ['Rising from the Plains'] continues to present a cross section of North America along the fortieth parallel-- a series gathering under the overall title Annals of the Former World.' 214 p., map, endpaper charts; dj clipped, edges browned, ink inscriptions on half-title, else VG. 27278
