On the cover

A boat skims over Banks Lake looking tiny beneath the massive cliffs of the Grand Coulee wall, made of layers of basalt, solidified lava. It oozed out of the Earth over eons, then was carved away relatively quickly in the great Missoula Floods during the last Ice Age. As ice dams to the east, in what is now Montana, repeatedly filled and failed again, torrents of water, estimated at 10 times the flow of all the rivers on Earth today, rushed over the land, picking apart the rock, creating the Grand Coulee.
