Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1990. Very Good / Fine. First Edition, First Printing. Signed. Brown cloth covered boards with gilt lettered spine. Square, sharp cornered and unmarked. Minor foxing at top edge. Dustjacket is fine, bright and unclipped with no chips or tears. Signed by the author on the title page. The book is divided into three long essays, "Atchafalaya", "Cooling the Lava", and "Los Angeles Against the Mountains". "…McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking in his vivid depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those who would attempt to wrest control from her--stubborn, often ingenious, and always arresting characters." Carefully packaged and shipped in a box.
