This will change your dating style!
18 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
Dating - in Geology at least- relies on an often stated presupposition: That whatever happended in the past happended slowly and at a constant rate. Well, things for dating are about to change as geologists take on board "catastrophic" events. One such "catastrophic" event is the Mount St Helens explosion which occurerd in the 80's. Geologists have now been able to carefully document the changes that occured with the eruption of Mount St Helens. What they found will fundamentally change the way we look at geological dating. In this book on the events following the eruption of Mount St Helens, the authors carefully show how a catastrophic event can cause sedimentation and erosion previously only assumed as possible over very long time periods. This is a must read for those interested in geological dating.

Amazing Aftermath to Mt. St. Helens Eruptions
3 Jan 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Geologists make Amazing observations in the aftermath of eruption!! The authors do a great job here, clearly & carefully presenting the results of catastrophic events upsetting many long held geological beliefs. The hard evidences are there to be seen before our eyes!! This book is readable by everyday folks, as well as providing "meat" for the professional. Steve Austin is currently on my Hit Parade of geologists & authors. The book itself has an attractive format & is very well made. I'm really glad I spent the money on it.
For anyone interested in Geology / Earth Science -I also recommend his texts & DVD on the Grand Canyon. These are real eye openers on the cutting edge of science.
The DVD you will be wanting along with this book is entitled: "Mt. St. Helens : Explosive Evidence For Catastrophe". Invite some friends over & break out the popcorn.

New geological thought
23 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
I was at a museum and saw a display that talked about how the Mount St. Helens eruption and after-effects had many interesting and surprising results, showing how such dramatic events can result in geological structures than many would think would take millions of years to form. I was interested in learning more about this, and this book delivered. The book has many great color photos and diagrams and is careful about precise science (it's written by two Ph.D.s) while clearly defining terms so that the lay reader can easily follow.
