Summary: Geology made accessible.
Comment: Ellen Morris Bishop's book has created a rich story about Oregon's origins that is extremely captivating. When I read her book I feel that I am going on an exciting time travel adventure in my own backyard. I have already given several copies as gifts to relatives and friends. Her book has inspired by mother to want to go backpacking!

Summary: Easily understandable: A good read and glorious pictures.
Comment: This is a great, very-non-technical book that describes Oregon's geology and its past climates and plants and animals in a way that the general reader can easily understand. I bought a copy to give to my brother (a wetland specialist) but ended up keeping that copy for myself. The photos of Oregon's mountains, coast, and deserts are outstanding. It's a great read, and links the history of landscapes and climates here to changes around the globe. A great book to help understand Oregon's landscapes.

Summary: In Search of Ancient Oregon
Comment: Buy this book to help you understand the geology and natural history of Oregon and to grace your coffee table and book shelf. It is written by a geologist who has published scientific articles on Oregon geology and other aspects of natural history in professional journals and books. The author, Dr. Ellen Bishop, has combined a knowledge of science with the ability to make complex concepts very understandable to nonscientists. The photographs, however, are enough by themselves to have this book on your coffee table or desk. I have been to many of the sites Dr. Bishop photographed and am impressed by her skill and experience. The photographs show not only the geology that she has written about in the text, but also the stark beauty of Oregon's landscapes.
