Motherstone: British Columbia's Volcanic Plateau - Hardcover
Researched and written by Harold Rhenisch, verified by scientific consultant, Dr. Mary Lou Bevier, and photographed by Chris Harris, this book is inspirational, highly informative, and stunningly beautiful. In describing the origins of the volcanic Cariboo Chilcotin Plateau,Motherstone provides us all with a deeper understanding of our Planet and the realization of how privileged we are to live in a province of such ecological richness. In the high country of British Columbia's Central Plateau lies the Motherstone. It is a land that few people have walked over or seen before. It includes a chain of shield volcanoes formed over a mantle hot spot rising from a depth of 2,900 kilometers, a sea of crystallized basalts stretching 300 kilometers from Anahim Peak to the Painted Chasm, a river of obsidian, underwater volcanoes sitting high up above the world's only inland temperate rainforest, and a field of cinder cones still rising from among the trees they burned through when they were formed. This book will undoubtedly become one of the most important natural history books published to date in British Columbia. It was researched and written by the award winning BC author Harold Rhenisch; verified by the scientific consultant, Dr. Mary Lou Bevier, of UBC; and photographed by the distinguished Canadian photographer and publisher, Chris Harris. This book is inspirational, highly informative, and stunningly beautiful. It provides us all with a deeper understanding of our Planet and the realization of how privileged we are to live in a province of such ecological richness.
