What I'm reading...

right now: Bretz's Flood by John Soennichsen.

This is not a book about the geology of the channeled scablands of eastern Washington (well, it is a little), but rather a treatment of how the understanding of this peculiar terrain evolved through time. The primary focus, necessarily, is on J Harlen Bretz, but it also includes other scientists, particularly Joseph Pardee and Richard Foster Flint.
