I didn't look to see that this publication is from ...
I didn't look to see that this publication is from 2002. A lot has changed since then so this is very outdated. Basic information is okay but still far behind times and is only about 150 pages. Certainly not worth the price.
Technical but good
I am not a native NW'ner and since the eruption of Mt. St. Helen's I have been interested in the "restlessness" of this area and I learned a lot from reading this book. It's scary but reality sometimes can do that.
Plate tectonics
Read it and believe it
I couldn't put this book down.
I admit that geology interests me but even I was surprised that this book was hard to put down. What a story! I couldn't wait to find out what happened next to this complex landscape. Hill Williams tells the story in an easy to read, easy to understand prose, not an easy feat given the subject. Congratulations to Mr. Hill on a job very well done. What a great book!
Understandable overview of Northwest geological history
I bought this for my 93 year old mother, hoping that it would not be written in so technical a manner that she could not understand it. This augments another book I bought recently about the geological history of the world, and has helped field her many questions about the nature of the mountains and rocks she has seen in our Northwest states. She loves it.
