Portrait of Mount St. Helens : A Changing Landscape

By Chuck Williams & Stuart Warren
With new activity taking place now, I thought it would be good to revive an earlier book This book illuminates the mountain's pristine pre-eruption beauty, the blast itself, the dramatically changed post-eruption landscape, and the astonishing recovery of the ecosystem surrounding it. In the years following the eruption of May 18, 1980, it has become clear that far from being the end of everything, as some had feared, the "big blow" marked a new beginning as Nature quietly works to rebuild itself.
