Rains All the Time by David Laskin Pdf

Rains All the Time is the first social history of the weather of this notoriously wet region-not just how damp it is, but what it does to the souls of those who have endured, cursed, and worshipped it. David Laskin documents the human response to the weather in the Northwest, from Francis Drake's condemnation-"Vile, thicke and stinking fogges"-to today's inhabitants. He also explores how the damp weather has been a great muse to writers and painters.

Pacific Northwest Weather by George R. Miller Pdf

This book offers an in-depth look into those peculiarities of Pacific Northwest weather. It acquaints the reader with why weather happens on a global scale down to the direction your campfire smoke will drift. The climate of the Pacific Northwest is as broad and varied as is found anywhere in the world, from dry eastern sections to cool and west western sections. The book explores the reasons for this. It contains historical references to past storms, including Columbus Day-type, that have affected Oregon and Washington. Are those storms different from other storms? Weather patterns that cause hot and dry conditions, as well as frigid, cold, and snowy arctic outbreaks are examined. The book is designed for the lay person, as well as a basic text in meteorology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the weather.

Pacific Walkers by Nance Van Winckel Pdf

Nance Van Winckel's wry, provocative slant on the world and her command of images and ideas enliven these stunning poems. Presented in two parts, Pacific Walkers first gives imagined voice to anonymous dead individuals, entries in the John Doe network of the Spokane County Medical Examiner's Records. The focus then shifts to named but now-forgotten individuals in a discarded early-1900s photo album purchased in a secondhand store. We encounter figures devoid of history but enduring among us as lockered remains, and figures who come with histories--first names and dates, and faces preserved in photographs--but who no longer belong to anyone.

Lewis & Clark's Northwest Journey by George R. Miller Pdf

When Lewis & Clark crossed the Rocky Mountains on their epic journey to the Pacific Ocean, they found a climate that was in some respects similar to what they were used to on the East Coast of the United States. But in other respects, it was very different. Their clothes were rotting from the constant rain. Massive waves kept them from crossing the mighty Columbia River. Were the rain and wind a constant for the entire voyage? Lewis & Clark's Northwest Journey: Weather Disagreeable!, by George R. Miller (author of Pacific Northwest Weather: But My Barometer Says Fair) examines the journals of Lewis and Clark and other members of the Corps of Discovery for key references to the weather the party experienced. It equates those weather entries to the weather patterns we know exist today. As a meteorologist, Miller has spent over 40 years wrestling with Pacific Northwest weather. He has also researched past weather events that have occurred in this part of the country over the last 200 years. His vast knowledge of the Northwest's weather gives great insight into the incredible difficulties the Corps of Discovery faced on their voyage west! Book jacket.
