New Title



 1) Nisbet, Jack. Ancient Places: People and Landscape in the Emerging Northwest. 2015. Sasquatch Books. Hardbound: 247 pages. Price: $21.95 U.S.
PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY: These are the genesis stories of a region. In Ancient Places, Jack Nisbet uncovers touchstones across the Pacific Northwest that reveal the symbiotic relationship of people and place in this corner of the world. From rural Oregon, where a controversy brewed over the provenance and ownership of a meteor, to the great floods 15,000 years ago that shaped what is now Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, this is a compelling collection of stories about the natural and human history of our region.
     Jack Nisbet is a historian, teacher, and author who focuses on the intersection of human history and natural history in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of the highly regarded Sources of the River for which he was awarded the Murray Morgan Prize by the Washington State Historical Society. 
RECOMMENDATION: For those with an interest in the history of the Pacific Northwest.
