The central figure is Anita Harris, an internationally celebrated geologist who went into her profession to get out of a Brooklyn ghetto. The unifying theme is plate tectonics--here concentrating on the acceptance that all aspects of the theory do not universally enjoy. As such, \u003ci\u003eIn Suspect Terrain \u003c\/i\u003eis a report from the rough spots at the front edge of a science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"In Suspect Terrain | John McPhee | Paperback | 0374517940 | Used: Very Good | Nature 1783693","offer_id":50773479227650,"sku":"1783693","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81Xaf9mY8XL.jpg?v=1792138667","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/in-suspect-terrain-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
