' In the race to be first in describing the lost generation of the 1980s, Geoff Dyer in The Colour of Memory leads past the winning post. We're not lost one of his hero's friend's says, we're virtually extinct. It is a small world in Brixton that Dyer commemorates, of council flat & instant wastel&, of living on the dole & the scrounge, of mugging, which is merely begging by force, & of listening to Callas & Coltrane. It is the nostalgia of the DHSS Bohemians, the children of unsocial security, in an urban landscape of debris & wreckage.

Teeming with the history of the Pacific Northwest, the mighty Columbia River is one of the longest rivers in North America. Surprisingly, however, this 1, 243-mile-long river begins not in the familiar Columbia River Gorge separating Washington & Oregon but rather 1, 000 miles upstream, near the British Columbia-Alberta border. Long before Capt. Robert Gray discovered the river`s entrance in 1792 near what is today Astoria, it served as a water highway & a critical source of food for Native people & the earliest Hudson`s Bay Company pioneers. Today it continues to function as a watercourse for barges & ships carrying commercial goods to the world. The Columbia has, however, been an enemy at times. Before dams controlled its flow, vicious rapids claimed lives, & the river, swollen by melting ice from Canada`s Columbia Icefield, often flooded towns as distant as Portl&, Oregon. At the same time, it has always offered stunning scenery. Read about the early river steamers on both sides of the border. Ponder the travels of salmon. Who built the Grand Coulee or Bonneville dams? What happened at the Hanford Project? Explore with David Thompson, who discovered the source of the river. Meet the real people who call the Columbia River shores their home. The book`s four sections as well as the Travel & Trivia section have been updated to expand our knowledge of the towns & people along the river. ...
