Browsers is thrilled to host returning author David B Williams to discuss his latest book, In the Range of Fire and Ice: A Human and Natural History of Washington's Cascades, with Professor Dylan Fischer. Join us upstairs for this special event on Tuesday, November 17 at 6:00 PM. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
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.
