At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults.

Excellent Writing; Inconsistent Reading Performance
Revisado: 10-04-23
Most readers do a fine job. The reader of “The Yosemite” reads too fast and butchers the pronunciation of ubiquitous words like “Tuolumne”. A simple check of Miriam Webster tells you how to pronounce. Sad annoyance!

Mark Arax is from a family of Central Valley farmers, a writer with deep ties to the land who has watched the battles over water intensify even as California lurches from drought to flood and back again. In The Dreamt Land, he travels the state to explore the one-of-a-kind distribution system, built in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, that is straining to keep up with California's relentless growth. The Dreamt Land weaves reportage, history and memoir to confront the "Golden State" myth in riveting fashion.

Listening to Comey
Revisado: 05-21-18
Listening to James Comey tell his story is so much more meaningful and impactful than simply reading the book. It is essential that every American know this story to know the threat to American values that inhabits the Oval Office.
