Description

Geology is an extremely visual subject, and In Search of Ancient Oregon is a beautifully photographed, expertly written account of Oregon’s fascinating geological story. Written by a passionate and professional geologist who has spent countless hours within the field exploring and photographing the state, In Search of Ancient Oregon is a book for all those excited by Oregon’s landscapes and environments. It presents fine-art-quality color photographs of well-known features such as Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, Steens Mountain, the Columbia River Gorge, and Cannon Beach, and scenic, not so well known places such as Jordan Craters, Leslie Gulch, Abert Rim, Hells Canyon, Elkhorn Mountains, and Three Fingered Jack. Each and every of the more than 220 stunning photographs is accompanied by readable text, presenting the story of how Oregon’s diverse landscapes evolved — and what we may expect at some point. Until now, no book has presented this dynamic story in a way that everyone excited by Oregon’s natural history can easily take into account. The combination of unusual photographs and the creator’s lucid explanations make this book both unique and very important for those eager about our own recent landscape.
