The University of Alaska Press has released a new distributed title, "A Coast of Scenic Wonders: Coastal Geology and Ecology of the Outer Coast of Oregon and Washington and the Strait of Juan de Fuca," by Miles O. Hayes and Jacqueline Michel, illustrated by Joseph Holmes.

The book helps readers explore origins of coastal features and the array of beaches, deltas and tidal flats. It explains the processes that create the diverse coastal landforms, including glaciers, volcanoes and earthquakes. 

Two coastal geologists with more than five decades of experience conducting scientific research on the Pacific Northwest Coast tell their story of discovery and fascination with the Outer Coast of Oregon and Washington through diagrams, photographs, satellite imagery and conversation.
