Hood River News : Until now, no book has presented this dynamic story in a way that everyone interested in Oregon's natural history can easily understand.
Virgil Rupp Northwest Books : Oregon has never seen a book quite like this. It is a book to be paged through admiring the photos, then read slowly, and finally placed in your bookcase as a reference. Bishop's work will be around for a long time.
Dan Hays Salem Statesman Journal : Anyone who thinks geology and natural history are dull will change their minds after glancing through this book. It's accessible, well designed, thorough, accurate and easily calls forth vivid visions of Oregon in the distant past.
