Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
The most copiously reported natural event in world history, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens dominated the media for days, reshaped the region, affected the lives of all within reach of its ashfall and was soon forgotten by everyone else. Colasurdo, who grew up below the volcano, offers a sometimes lyrical, somewhat awkward, bittersweet view of the place she loved and the very different place she discovered through research, interviews and treks. Colasurdo recalls childhood idylls; she locates friends and others who became displaced persons after their mountain moved; she interviews a cavalcade of scientists who have studied the region. Some vignettes are finely drawn, as are some crystalline sketches of great enigmas found in the natural world. The book is instructive in reporting the remarkably complex and dynamic events of both the eruption and its aftermath. A freelance reporter and first-time author, Colasurdo writes some passages with the cautious clarity of an everyday journalist. Elsewhere, she offers the passion of a writer enchanted by a wondrous place and the pain of one who saw Eden burn. While some awesome facts are hardly newthat lava reached 1100 degrees F., for instancethey take on new meaning in Colasurdo's panorama. As St. Helens once intrigued distant audiences, so should this account of its eruption, continuing evolution and the surprising lessons therein. (Oct.)
Library Journal
``Having Everything Right'' is not just an Indian place name but the summation of a way of living on earth in a spirit of harmony, gratitude, and adventure. Within this patchwork quilt of personal reminiscences and stories are Nez Perce Indian battles, lone treks into the wilderness, the stirring of family myth, and conversations with ``outcast eccentrics.'' A poetic eye to nature and personal biography knit together themes and ideas, which range from the unique fragility of the earth to the breadth and courage of the human spirit. As the essays illustrate, when you have everything right you know at once the limits of materialism and what are the truly good things of earth. This book received a Western States Book Awards Citation for Excellence. Recommended for most collections. Carol J. Lichtenberg, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
