Describes the evolution of the small community of Hope, British Columbia: the collision of mountain ranges, the slow grinding of earth by glaciers and ice, the carving out of valleys, and the convergence of two great rivers.

Tells stories of this land and its people with a mystic's sense of wonder, and a scientist's curiosity about the precise nature of the forces that shape our world. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Excellent copy. Book
