Assembling California (1993) Signed First Edition Reference

Assembling California (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1993) is the fourth and final standalone geology book, following geologist Eldridge Moores through California’s terrain — a state literally assembled from pieces of ocean floor, volcanic islands, and continental fragments that collided with North America over hundreds of millions of years. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake provides a vivid present-tense anchor for the deep-time narrative.
