Cataclysms on the Columbia: The Great Missoula Floods
4/5
()
About this ebook
Cataclysms on the Columbia tells two stories. One follows geological research that challenged the scientific paradigm of the early 20th century, and the other chronicles the result of that research: the discovery of powerful prehistoric floods that shaped the Pacific Northwest. The cataclysms at the end of the last Ice Age left a scabland of buttes, dry falls, and rocky gorges, but it took the detective work of geologist J Harlen Bretz to prove it to the world. His lifetime of research and unshakeable belief changed geology forever.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The biography of Bretz is entertaining and informative. The geology section is full of details but is seems unfocused. It would be nice to have a version with more current information about the geology and the history of the Native Americans in the region.
