The title refers to the physiographic province of the United States that reaches from eastern Utah to eastern California, a silent world of austere beauty, of hundreds of discrete high mountain ranges that are green with junipers and often white with snow. The terrain becomes the setting for a lyrical evocation of the science of geology, with important digressions into the plate-tectonics revolution and the history of the geologic time scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Basin and Range | John McPhee | Paperback | 9780374516901 | Used: Very Good | Nature 1648422 (temp: 24)","offer_id":48918147989656,"sku":"1648422","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71NTyILaX1L_aae0c812-1279-45e1-9263-c4f192ed992b.jpg?v=1776978557","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/basin-and-range-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
