John Eliot Allen: Cataclysms on the Columbia (2009)

Review of 'Cataclysms on the Columbia' on 'Goodreads'

Fascinating, both in the “this is how science evolves” detective + social story aspect (scientist sees puzzle, solves it, receives scorn from the establishment) and in trying to wrap your head around the geology of it (10x the Amazon! For days!)

Could be better written; most people probably better off just reading the Wikipedia article :)
