In Search Of Ancient Oregon

In Search of Ancient Oregon by Ellen Morris Bishop presents fine-art-quality color photographs of well-known features such as Mount Hood, Crater Lake, and the Columbia River Gorge, and scenic, not so well known places such as Jordan Craters, Leslie Gulch, and Hells Canyon. Each of the more than 220 stunning photographs is accompanied by readable text, presenting the story of how Oregon's diverse landscapes evolved ó and what we may expect in the future. Extraordinary photographs and the author's lucid explanations present this dynamic story in a way that everyone interested in Oregon's natural history can easily understand.

About the Author:-Ellen Morris Bishop received her Ph.D. in Geology at Oregon State University. She has conducted research, published scientific articles, and taught geology and environmental sciences for Eastern Oregon University, Lewis and Clark College,and Marylhurst University. In previous years she wrote a science column for The Oregonian and served as the science reporter for Vancouver, Washington's The Colombian. In studying Oregon's natural history, Ellen realized that the fascinating stories told by the landscape were only accessible to other researchers. With a desire to bring the entire chronicle of Oregon's geological and natural history to the general public, Ellen set out to write In Search of Ancient Oregon.

Media Reviews:"Oregon has never seen a book quite like this. It is a book to be paged through admiring the photos, then read slowly, and finally placed in your bookcase as a reference. Bishop's work will be around for a long time."
óVirgil Rupee, Northwest Books, September 7, 2003

óJohn Terry, The Oregonian, September 29, 2003

"Recommended for anyone who has an interest in either geology or Oregon."
óSusan Clark, E-Streams, February 2004
