In Suspect Terrain (1983) Signed First Edition Reference

In Suspect Terrain (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1983) continues McPhee’s geological roadtrip, this time following geologist Anita Harris through the Delaware Water Gap and the Appalachians, exploring plate tectonics skepticism and the competing theories that preceded the modern consensus. The title refers to terrain whose geological history is disputed or unclear.
