Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography by David B. Williams

4.0

Dirt can be fascinating. Because of my line of work, I already knew most of the broad strokes in this book about the human manipulation of Seattle topography. However, this book is well researched and included many new-to-me details and human stories behind the big earthmoving projects, as well as great historical photos and maps I'd not seen before. I am recommending it to colleagues, and anyone interested in historic human use of the earth and the history of Seattle and PNW.
