This website was launched in Corvallis, Oregon, USA, in 1994 and has been continuously online ever since. From 1994 until early 2018, all of the hundreds of reports, articles, editorials, photographs, videos, maps, and other digital content have been made available for free -- without a single advertisement, fundraising activity, subscription, request, or any other method of charging for these resources. Beginning in January 2018 we began taking steps to sell a selection of these materials, in the forms of hardcopy books and prints and as digital files, as a method of maintaining this website and of determining the potential market value of these products. The following list includes my first published book and several dozen original maps and photographs currently for sale, and being prepared for future sales. Thank you for visiting this site.
