520    "How life bounces back from epic destruction On May 18, 
       1980, people all over the world watched with awe and 
       horror as Mount St. Helens erupted in southwestern 
       Washington. Fifty-seven people were killed, and hundreds 
       of square miles of what had been lush forests and wild 
       rivers were to all appearances destroyed. While most 
       people thought of the eruption as a catastrophe, a small, 
       ragtag team of ecologists did not. For them, the eruption 
       of Mount St. Helens was the opportunity of a lifetime. 
       Here was an unprecedented chance to test some of ecology's
       oldest and most august theories about how plants and 
       animals recover from a massive disturbance. Ecologists 
       thought they would have to wait years, or even decades, 
       for life to return to the mountain. But when a forest 
       scientist named Jerry Franklin helicoptered into the blast
       area a couple of weeks after the eruption, he found small 
       plants bursting through the ash and animals skittering 
       over the ground. Stunned, he realized he and his 
       colleagues had been thinking of the volcano in completely 
       the wrong way. Rather than being a dead zone, the mountain
       was very much alive. Mount St. Helens has been surprising 
       ecologists ever since, and in After the Blast, Eric Wagner
       takes readers on a fascinating journey through the blast 
       area and beyond. From fireweed to elk, the plants and 
       animals Franklin saw would not just change how ecologists 
       approached the eruption and its landscape, but also prompt
       them to think in new ways about how life responds in the 
       face of seeming total devastation"--|cProvided by
