Glacial Lake Misssoula by David Alt

Glacial Lake Missoula and Its Humongous Floods tells the gripping tale of a huge Ice Age lake that drained suddenly--not just once but repeatedly--and reshaped the landscape of the Northwest. The narrative follows the path of the floodwaters as they raged from western Montana across the Idaho Panhandle, then scoured through eastern Washington and down the Columbia Gorge to the Pacific Ocean.

David Alt worked at the University of Montana in Missoula as a geology professor. He cofounded the popular Roadside Geology series with the goal of bringing geology to the general population. He co-wrote several novels in the series with Donald Hyndman and contributes to the editing of others. Dave Alt died in 2015, but his passion for geology and sardonic wit live on in the many books he wrote.
