• The Control of Nature is John McPhee's bestselling account of places where people are locked in combat with nature.
• Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strageties and tactics through which people attempt to control nature.
• Most striking is his depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those attempting to wrest control from her stubborn, sometimes foolhardy, more often ingenious, and always arresting characters.
