A collection of essays mostly from the 1970s which combine history and the environment. Includes a 1977 Audubon expose about the hazardous shipping lanes outside Valdez, Alaska, that suggested that it was only a matter of time before a supertanker accident occurred, articles about the desperate battle on the Aleutian island of Attu, where thousands of Japanese and American troops died in 1942; describe a giant wave that scoured the granite cliffs of Lituya Bay after a massive earthquake in 1958, and expose the mismanagement behind the WW II construction of the first oil pipeline out of the Arctic. Other essays address the hazards of fire and drought in California, problems throughout the West that result from overgrazing and much more. INSCRIBED on the front endpaper to the noted book collector Larry Owens and dated in 1995. Drawings, double page maps. xii, 275 pp.
