Take a topic which is inherently fascinating (the inner workings of America's transportation industry), then hand it over to "writer's writer" John McPhee. The result? Absolute delight. Steering a barge, braking a locomotive, getting a package through UPS: McPhee handles them all with great elan, rendering them accessible to the mind of the reader without sacrificing an iota of their complexity.
