Its dramatic juxtaposition of geology, topography, and climate presents a virtual textbook of landforms and geomorphic processes revealing Quaternary, Holocene, and very recent events of immense magnitude. Along the active volcanism and tectonism, the present riverine landscape reflects this episodic geomorphic history, as remnants of fluviatle features, huge bars and boulders, mantle the landscape. \u003ci\u003eA Peculiar River: Geology, Geomorphology, and Hydrology of the Deschutes River, Oregon\u003c\/i\u003e tells a fascinating story about a \"striking, sometimes intimidating, landscape that serves to question generalities and is a laboratory in which to study special landforms and the processes that produce them.\" \u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eM. \u003c\/i\u003eG \u003ci\u003eWolman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJim E.
