AFTER THE BLAST-Mt.St.Helens/Wagner/Volcanoes/Ecology/Biology/NEW/HB/DJ/Illustr.

Description: Description: A lively and authoritative account of the environmental effects and recovery of the area around Mt. St. Helens. Well illustrated. An outstanding, well written, ecological narrative.From the book publisher’s blurb: “On May 18, 1980, people all over the world watched with awe and horror as Mount St. Helens erupted. Fifty-seven people were killed and hundreds of square miles of what had been lush forests and wild rivers were to all appearances destroyed. Ecologists thought they would have to wait years, or even decades, for life to return to the mountain, but when forest scientist Jerry Franklin helicoptered into the blast area a couple of weeks after the eruption, he found small plants bursting through the ash and animals skittering over the ground. Stunned, he realized he and his colleagues had been thinking of the volcano in completely the wrong way. Rather than being a dead zone, the mountain was very much alive. Mount St. Helens has been surprising ecologists ever since, and in After the Blast Eric Wagner takes readers on a fascinating journey through the blast area and beyond. From fireweed to elk, the plants and animals Franklin saw would not just change how ecologists approached the eruption and its landscape, but also prompt them to think in new ways about how life responds in the face of seemingly total devastation..” About the Author: Eric Wagner is an award-winning environmental writer whose essays and journalism have appeared in Audubon, Smithsonian, Orion, Earth Island Journal, and High Country News, among other places. He obtained a PhD in Biology from the University of Washington for his work on Magellanic penguins in Argentina.
