Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a mining claim on a crumbling cliff of burnt-rose quartzite lured naturalist Jack Nisbet to the northeastern corner of Washington State in 1970, he began a search for an understanding of that open country through stories about the people who lived there and the everyday events he shared with them. Together, these vivid, engaging, and subtly humorous stories evoke the essence of this place. Watch the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lwlNisTUyk

Book Synopsis The Potters' Quarter by : Agnes Newhall Stillwell
Download or read book The Potters' Quarter written by Agnes Newhall Stillwell and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1948 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited final part of the publication of the Corinth Potters' Quarter is based on the work of the excavator, A. N. Stillwell, edited and supplemented after her death by J. L. Benson. The pottery, although frequently fragmentary, can often be assigned to known painters or workshops, and the deposits, especially in view of the defective pieces in them, can be argued to contain material almost exclusively of local manufacture. A brief introduction serves to explain the organization of the catalogue and to characterize the principal deposits, most of which contained material from several periods; a summary of represented painters and workshops concludes the chapter. The catalogue presents over 2,300 examples from more than 4,000 inventoried pieces. Almost all are illustrated with photographs, frequently supplemented with detail line drawings of motifs; selected profile drawings represent the principal shapes. A new foldout plan of the Potters' Quarter is included.
Download or read book Visible Bones written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you know a place? Historian and naturalist Jack Nisbet&—author of Sources of the River: Tracking David Thompson Across Western North America&—looks to the relics of a region to connect the present moment to the distant past. In the vast Western territory defined by the Columbia River, Nisbet tracks the stories and meaning of relics such as a trilobite fossil that points to a tropical prehistoric ecology; the nearly extinct California condor, once the largest thing in the skies, described with amazement by Meriwether Lewis; the indelible stain of the smallpox pandemic that overcame the native peoples of the West; a rare and socially potent strain of indigenous wild tobacco that reveals the presence of vestigial Indian practices; and the remains of one Jaco Finlay, a mixed-blood trapper and scout who seems to have been everywhere in the region two hundred years ago. All of these relics are the visible bones that show how past is present in the Columbia River Country. Together the stories these bones tell lays out a wholly original, hybrid history that connects nature with human endeavor, geography with the passage of time&—all contribute to the biography of a place. The arrow of time travels in one direction, and this is usually how history is told: beginning to end. But Jack Nisbet is up to something else: journeys across time through a place, knitting past to present and back again to assemble a portrait of the land that marked the culmination of Lewis & Clark’s expedition, that saw the sad end of the Indian Wars with the flight of Chief Joseph, that has offered up fossil proof of mammoth species long extinct. In this western territory, the storied past is much in evidence.

Book Synopsis The Hanford Reach by : Stamford D. Smith
Download or read book The Hanford Reach written by Stamford D. Smith and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desert country along the Columbia River is one of the WestÕs least-known desert placesÑone that most people donÕt even drive through unless they are unusually curious travelers. The Hanford Reach is the last free stretch of the river between the McNary and Priest Rapids Dams, a place boasting a varied landscape of floodplains, wetlands, deserts, orchardsÑand nuclear reactors. This is not a place that people think to visit. Known primarily for hosting the countryÕs most toxic nuclear outpost, it is public land that barely exists in public consciousness. But because the Reach has been posted off-limits by the military since 1943, this book offers readers a little-seen glimpse into what the Pacific NorthwestÕs arid east was like before the postwar boom. Susan Zwinger has kayaked the Columbia through Hanford Reach with scientists and activists who are helping to restore it, and in this book she outlines the geographical extent of the Reach, reviews its history, and takes readers through the terrain by foot, on road, and on the river. Here is a land of dark lava flows and basalt cliffs interspersed throughout subtle, pale shrub-steppe, a table of aridity cut through by one of the countryÕs most prodigious rivers. ZwingerÕs sparkling text, enhanced by Skip SmithÕs striking photos, captures the subtleties of the contrasting vistas, just as it makes clear the depth of the radioactive poisoning within the soil and wildlife. We have only just begun to unfold the landÕs treasuresÑpetroglyphs, ancient village sites, new species, and geological wondersÑand in 2000, President Clinton protected 560 square miles of land as the Hanford Reach National Monument. This book celebrates what is preserved in that buffer zone at the dawn of a new era of environmental responsibility.
Download or read book David Douglas written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a meteoric career that spanned from 1825 to 1834, David Douglas made the first systematic collections of flora and fauna over many parts of the greater Pacific Northwest. Despite his early death, colleagues in Great Britain attached the Douglas name to more than 80 different species, including the iconic timber tree of the region. David Douglas, a Naturalist at Work is a colorfully illustrated collection of essays that examines various aspects of Douglas's career, demonstrating the connections between his work in the Pacific Northwest of the 19th century and the place we know today. From the Columbia River's perilous bar to luminous blooms of mountain wildflowers; from ever-changing frontiers of technology to the quiet seasonal rhythms of tribal families gathering roots, these essays collapse time to shed light on people and landscapes. This volume is the companion book to a major museum exhibit about Douglas's Pacific Northwest travels that will open at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Spokane in September 2012.

Download or read book Ancient Places written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a master of regional and natural history comes a collection of essays that reveals how the Pacific Northwest shaped the people—and how the people shaped the land Drawing on a range of personal research, author Jack Nisbet engages some of the iconic images in Northwest history: from fossil riches to ice age floods; from the Willamette Meteorite to the 1872 Earthquake; from up-and-down mining cycles to steady rounds of tribal food gathering. Although the scale of time and space in some of the pieces is immense, individual characters still manage to leave their marks; even though the force of modern civilization sometimes seems overwhelming, small places and their key components somehow persevere. 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.
Book Synopsis The Dreamer and the Doctor by : Jack Nisbet
Download or read book The Dreamer and the Doctor written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Northwest, the lives and passions of an American physician and her Swedish naturalist husband helped shape a territory on the cusp of change--from the author of Sources of the River and The Collector. Dr. Carrie Leiberg, a pioneer physician, fought hard for public health while nurturing both a troubled son and a fruit orchard. Her husband, John Leiberg, was a Swedish immigrant and self-taught naturalist who transformed himself from pickax Idaho prospector to special field agent for the US Forest Commission and warned Washington DC of ecological devastation of public lands. The Leiberg story opens a window into the human and natural landscape of a century past that reflects all the thorny issues of our present time.
Book Synopsis Sources of the River, 2nd Edition by : Jack Nisbet
Download or read book Sources of the River, 2nd Edition written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awe-inspiring story of explorer David Thompson, whose expeditions helped shape western North America In this true story of adventure, author Jack Nisbet re-creates the life and times of David Thompson—fur trader, explorer, surveyor, and mapmaker. From 1784 to 1812, Thompson explored western North America, and his field journals provide the earliest written accounts of the natural history and indigenous cultures of the what is now British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Thompson was the first person to chart the entire route of the Columbia river, and his wilderness expeditions have become the stuff of legend. Jack Nisbet tracks the explorer across the content, interweaving his own observations with Thompson’s historical writings. The result is a fascinating story of two men discovering the Northwest territory almost two hundred years apart.

Download or read book The Purple Bow written by Emil Mihelich and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Purple Bow" reaquaints the reader with Dan Kristich, first encountered at the age of five in "Around the Horn." But it is no longer 1949. It is 1962, and America is exploring outer space in earnest. Among other things, Dan can't help wondering about what the space explorers may, or may not, find "up there." What if they don't find any "next world" to which "the souls of the faithful departed" are supposed to go? Dan is particularly interested in the existence of this "next world" because his dad, Pete "Snuffy" Kristich, died in 1950, one year after he pinch-hit and drove in the winning run in the final playoff game that gave his South Side Athletic Club its first Copper League Championship. But by 1962 Butte, Montana's ballpark has burned down, its open pit mine, the Berkeley Pit, is devouring the black, iron headframes - called "gallus frames" in Butte - and human beings are exploring space. Butte, and the world, is in flux. Inspired by his senior English teacher, Brother Kelley, Dan is searching for something permanent and indestructible. "The Purple Bow," with its pursuit of love, traces the path of that search - and subsequent discovery. "The Purple Bow is a fine piece of writing. I was very moved by the story and your telling of it." -Carolyn Bennett, Raintree Associates

Download or read book The Extramural Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone at Cyrene, Libya, Final Reports, Volume VII written by Arcadia Kocybala and published by UPenn Museum of Archaeology. This book was released on 1999-01-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corinthian pottery represents the largest percentage of all the imported archaic Greek wares found at the sanctury of Demeter and Persephone at Cyrene in Libya. With its markedly broad range of types and quality, it provides insight into both the early history of the sanctuary and the nature of the export wares of this major Greek pottery center. In addition, the pottery provides some interesting new material for Corinthian vase painting in general, and adds to our knowledge of certain vase painters in particular.
