reviewed Bretz's Flood: The Remarkable Story of a Rebel Geologist and the World's Greatest Flood on January 19, 2020 Bretz's Flood: The Remarkable Story of a Rebel Geologist and the World's Greatest Flood
The oral history of J Harlen Bretz, Glacial Lake Missoula, and the floods have been the stuff of bedtime stories, long family road trips, and science classes throughout my life. His perseverance in the face of disbelief was a powerful tale and a source of inspiration.
I bought this book on a whim years ago and only now finally got around to reading. Getting to know Bretz better through this book was a joy. My regard for his character (faults and all) has only grown. Bretz is a person worth the honor of remembering.
A basic understanding of geological terms and scientific methods will assist the reader in understanding the natural ice age forces at work on the landscape and the societal forces that delayed agreement with Bretz's findings.
I highly recommend to those interested in such things and fully expect to reread again someday.
