Geology-tinged stories of the West all sink deep in true McPhee fashion.

Review of 'Irons in the Fire' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A peaceful, enjoyable book of meditative profiles of interesting scientists and specialists. Some lulls in interest, and really a set of magazine pieces, but McPhee doing McPhee.
