This is my first John McPhee book, but I look forward to reading more by this author. His writing is wonderful, on a broad range of topics, from tennis, to the orange industry, to nuclear physics, to Georgia ecology. He uses humor, dialogue, personal history, and so many other devices to make the reading experience rewarding, interesting, and educational. A satisfying read.
