Book Overview

by David B. Williams (Author)

A breathtaking journey through Washington's Cascades--where fire, ice, wildlife, and human stories collide

  • Views the Cascade Range through the lenses of wildlife, f lora, geology, Indigenous history, glaciers, and more
  • Celebrates inspiring conservation successes
  • Illustrated with a blend of historical and modern photographs

Blending human and natural history into a vivid portrait of one of North America's most dynamic landscapes, In the Range of Fire and Ice is a lively, groundbreaking exploration of Washington's Cascade Range. Drawing on conversations with anthropologists, park rangers, ecologists, and climate scientists, as well as firsthand experience, award-winning author David B. Williams brings readers into the mountains to uncover stories etched in the landscape over millennia.

From traditional Indigenous huckleberry harvesting grounds and ancient footpaths to erupting volcanoes, shifting glaciers, and forgotten mining camps, In the Range of Fire and Ice reveals the Cascades as a place of both deep time and constant change. While past logging, mining, and fires left lasting scars, the Cascades also tell powerful stories of recovery and resilience--returning wolverines and wolves, the remarkable rebirth of Mount St. Helens, and growing stewardship in the face of climate change. Through rich storytelling and careful research, Williams invites readers to see the Cascades not only as mountains, but as a living, evolving realm of fire, ice, and hope.
