An ancient prophecy. A sheikh’s passion. One woman will ignite the flame that fulfills them both. A man without a country. Half Bedouin, half English, the Viscount Blakeney has always been Sheikh Altair Mazir in his heart. A victim of prejudice from both cultures, he’s learned to trust no one. But a feisty American archeologist and the heat she ignites in him is about to change all that. And more. An independent woman hunting for a Pharaoh’s treasure. Alexandra Talbot is used to men questioning her intelligence simply because of her sex. But the mysterious Viscount isn’

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.

Many are so beautifully painted that they challenge modern sensibilities familiar with color photography. The photographic conventions were inspired by the aesthetics of the noted colored woodblock
