In 1975 a group of distinguished American and Canadian geologists agreed to pool their knowledge to write about the geologically fascinating resource they shared. Colossal Cataract is the result of their five-year collaboration to provide both geologists and general readers with the first comprehensive geological history of Niagara Falls since 1914. How and why the Falls were formed and how the Niagara Frontier has evolved through natural processes and through man's efforts to benefit from the dynamic power of the Falls is described in a succinct history. A chapter forecasts the possible future of the Falls, taking the natural erosion rate and the technological options for directing it into account. The authors both correct some misconceptions about the geology of the Falls and offer a new interpretation of the structure of the bedrock. A chapter on paleontology describes the fossils that have been deposited and which might still be found. Attached to the book is a 25 x 32" four-color map, the only available detailed geological map of the Niagara area. The map shows the bedrock distribution and incorporates the latest geological data. Appendixes offer a glossary of geologic terms, Niagara statistics, stratigraphy, a road guide to points of interest, and a summary of museum exhibits in the Niagara region.

Excerpt from Guide to the Geology and Paleontology of Niagara Falls and Vicinity Niagara falls are reached from Buffalo by train or electric cars, both of which run at frequent intervals. A direct line of railway runs from Rochester to the falls by way of Lockport. Direct railway connection with western cities is obtained by way of Suspension bridge, while from Toronto and other cities north of Lake Ontario the falls may be reached by train direct, or by boat to Lewiston or Queenston, and thence by train or electric road to Niagara. All electric cars on the New York side run to or past Prospect park, and most of them pass the railway stations. The railway stations are within walking distance of the falls.

Excerpt from Niagara Falls: Their Physical Changes, and the Geology and Tropography of the Surrounding Country The cataract of Niagara and the geology of the surrounding country, have been often described; but believing that there are many facts unnoticed, and others which have not had due weight in these considerations, I shall venture a further attempt at illustrating some important points regarding this great finger post in the path of time. I am far from asserting that the problem regarding the recession or the former condition of this great cascade is settled. So many disturbing causes are constantly presenting themselves, that although the great principles may be deemed established, yet it is impossible to calculate accurately the effect of these minor influences. Every fact recorded of the past, the present, or the future condition of this cataract will aid in the calculation of the final result, which, some thousands of years hence, may be made with tolerable accuracy. In the mean time we must content ourselves with observing these facts and laying down land-marks for the guidance of those who may follow us in the attempt to decide the effect of time upon these ancient rocks. A striking feature in the Topography of western New York, is the great difference of elevation between the Lakes Erie and Ontario, when taken in connexion with the generally level or but slightly uneven surface of the country, and where there are no disturbances among the strata. The difference of elevation between the other great lakes is comparatively small, although Superior is situated in a disturbed geological region. The elevation of Lake Erie is three hundred and thirtyfour feet above Lake Ontario, and the greater part of the difference is overcome by Niagara river in the space of one mile at the rapids and falls.

Like the adventurer who circled an iceberg to see it on all sides, Mariana Gosnell, former Newsweek reporter and author of Zero Three Bravo, a book about flying a small plane around the United States, explores ice in all its complexity, grandeur, and significance.More brittle than glass, at times stronger than steel, at other times flowing like molasses, ice covers 10 percent of the earth’s land and 7 percent of its oceans. In nature it is found in myriad forms, from the delicate needle ice that crunches underfoot in a winter meadow to the massive, centuries-old ice that forms the world’s glaciers. Scientists theorize that icy comets delivered to Earth the molecules needed to get life started, and ice ages have shaped much of the land as we know it.Here is the whole world of ice, from the freezing of Pleasant Lake in New Hampshire to the breakup of a Vermont river at the onset of spring, from the frozen Antarctic landscape that emperor penguins inhabit to the cold, watery route bowhead whales take between Arctic ice floes. Mariana Gosnell writes about frostbite and about the recently discovered 5,000-year-old body of a man preserved in an Alpine glacier. She discusses the work of scientists who extract cylinders of Greenland ice to study the history of the earth’s climate and try to predict its future. She examines ice in plants, icebergs, icicles, and hail; sea ice and permafrost; ice on Mars and in the rings of Saturn; and several new forms of ice developed in labs. She writes of the many uses humans make of ice, including ice-skating, ice fishing, iceboating, and ice climbing; building ice roads and seeding clouds; making ice castles, ice cubes, and iced desserts. Ice is a sparkling illumination of the natural phenomenon whose ebbs and flows over time have helped form the world we live in. It is a pleasure to read, and important to read—for its natural science and revelations about ice’s influence on our everyday lives, and for what it has to tell us about our environment today and in the future.
