’Thousands of years ago, before Christ or Buddha or Muhammad...before the Roman Empire rose or the Colossus of Rhodes fell’, Eric Burns writes, ’people in Asia Minor were drinking beer’. So begins an account as entertaining as it is extensive, of alcohol’s journey through world and, more important, American history. In "The Spirits of America", Burns relates that drinking was ’the first national pastime’, and shows how it shaped American politics and culture from the earliest colonial days.

Cataclysms on the Columbia tells two stories. One follows geological research that challenged the scientific paradigm of the early 20th century, and the other chronicles the results of that research: the discovery of powerful prehistoric floods that shaped the Pacific Northwest. The cataclysms at the end of the last Ice Age left a scab land of buttes, dry falls, and rocky gorges, but it took the detective work of geologist J. Harlan Bretz to prove it to the world. He did not live to see his theories vindicated, but his lifetime of research and unshakeable belief changed geology forever.
