The Journey 
On May 14, 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition rowed 4 miles up the Missouri River, beginning their epic journey to the Pacific. Eighteen months and 4,000 miles later, 31 men, one woman, and a baby reached the Pacific Ocean. 
On June 13, 2002, almost 200 years later, Bob and Mike Webster climbed into their homebuilt airplane and began their flight following the footsteps of Lewis and Clark. 
What’s in the Book 
Lewis and Clark by Air documents the expedition’s route to the Pacific with more than 500 photographs and 350 excerpts from the journals of the expedition members. Consider the 200-year-old impressions of these explorers as you view the very same country they traveled. The contrast between now and 200 years ago is striking; the lack of change over the past 200 years is even more impressive in some cases. 
The Photographs 
Each photograph in this book has with it the date the expedition passed that point and the number of miles they had traveled to that point. This book is enjoyable to read, interesting, and highly informative. 
Free CD 
Free Lewis and Clark Explorer software is included with the book. With Lewis and Clark Explorer, you can view photos of the Lewis and Clark Trail along with the original Lewis and Clark Journal entries for any day or mile range. You can also select an area on the map and view the photos and journal entries. Results can be printed, saved, or exported to a web page.

"The hot dry seasons of the past few years have caused rapid disintegration of glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana...Sperry Glacier...has lost one-quarter or perhaps one-third of its ice in the past 18 years... If this rapid rate should continue...the glacier would almost disappear in another 25 years...""Born about 4,000 years ago, the glaciers that are the chief attraction in Glacier National Park are shrinking so rapidly that a person who visited them ten or fifteen years ago would hardly recognize them today as the same ice masses."Do these reports sound familiar? Typical of frequent warnings of the dire consequences to be expected from global warming, such reports often claim modern civilization's use of fossil fuels as being the dominant cause of recent climate warming.You might be surprised to learn the reports above were made nearly thirty years apart! The first in 1923 prior to the record heat of the Dust Bowl years during the 1930s. The second in 1952 during the second decade of a four-decade cooling trend that had some scientists concerned that a new ice age might be on the horizon!Did the remnants of Sperry Glacier disappear during global warming of the late 20th century?According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), today Sperry Glacier "ranks as a moderately sized glacier" in Glacier National Park.What caused the warmer global climate prior to "4,000 years ago" before Glacier National Park's glaciers first appeared?Are you aware that during 2019 the National Park Service quietly began removing its "Gone by 2020" signs from Glacier National Park as its most famous glaciers continued their renewed growth that began in 2010?Was late 20th-century global warming caused by fossil fuel emissions? Was it really more pronounced than early 20th-century warming? Or was late 20th-century warming perfectly natural, in part a response to the concurrent peak strength of one of the strongest solar grand maxima in contemporary history?These and other questions are addressed by "Looking Out the Window."Be a juror in the trial of carbon dioxide in the court of public opinion and let the evidence inform your verdict.
