Rising From the Plains takes McPhee to the high country of Utah along the Continental Divide. His guide is David Love, "the grand old man of Rocky Mountain geology". Helping McPhee see the physical changes that have shaped this region over millions of years, Love also traces his own family's history in this oil-rich, windswept land.

Rising from the Plains: Classic McPhee...a classic in itself.
Revisado: 05-26-16
This is a classic...McPhee weaves a story of the settling of the Great Plains centered in Wyoming along with a rich geologic interpretation of the area proffered by the main character, David Love, a distinguished geologist affiliated with the USGS and Univ. of Wyoming, and grandson of John Muir, who was born and raised on a ranch in Wyoming and who is a widely respected field geologist. Love's tales of the old west are priceless. Many environmental issues around extraction of resources and water rights in the west are also raised throughout. A great book for the educated lay person to get a handle on the geology and culture of Wyoming region.
