Appreciate this book and it's time and care. A worthwhile look at our current situation and ways to realistically work through the realizations of way we are impacting the earth. No politics, just clear eyed approaches to how we respond to the world ending (at least as we know it). Recommend. ]]> Review7202550349 Wed, 19 Mar 2025 12:58:14 -0700 /review/show/7202550349 Rob gave 5 stars to Basin and Range (Annals of the Former World, 1) by John McPhee

A solid look at problem solving and how to prevent issues. Applicable in any and all scenarios and contexts...and still highlights the challenges. Many specific examples woven into the book and a basic premise that perhaps could be made a bit more forumalic to support the breadth of examples and stories. Good read. ]]> ReadStatus8902510679 Sat, 11 Jan 2025 10:31:33 -0800 /review/show/7202567277 Rob wants to read Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes
