In DESPERATE need of a book about the Pacific Northwest?

Question

I've got a report due Monday and don't even have a book. the report is a 10 slide powerpoint presentation. 
I could easily pull of a project, once I establish groundwork and general info, and a book of course.

It has to be a min of 200 pages, I'd appreciate if no more. It needs to just cover general information about the PNW's issues, envorionment, history, ect. If you already read it and could provide info from it, I'd be beyond thankful.

We need to cite the book, so I can't just use a site. I possibly could illustrate the points with information from a website once I list the main points of the book. 

I'm pretty ignorant of it which I know is sad, especially since I live here. But I'm extremely desperate. We have plenty of revision time on Monday. I just wanna get it finished though. 

Can be Fiction/non-fiction. Needs lots of comprehension, characters listed, significant events, how it relates to themes of history, and plenty of detail.

I know its a lot, and i'm not expecting 100% accurate answers. but I'm extremely desperate.

If you could just reccomend a book that is readable online, I'd be extremely appreciateive. 

If you say "should of done your homework earlier", your post will be deleted. doesn't help to tell me now.

FInding the text online is going to be your problem.  I've thought about it for some time and can't come up with anything.  However, if you can sort of fake it until you get a chance to get your hands on the book, I'd recommend A Dark Place by Aaron Elkins.  It's a mystery and a fast read.  From the reviews at amazon you can probably piece together an outline.

There's the National park, history, ancient weaponry, legends-- all good items for a slide show that you could put together, plus Gideon is a forensic anthropogist, so you can do some bones.

Good luck.  I don't usually do this but I think you're sincere in your panic and won't let this happen again. At least for awhile.  ;-)

Well, I live in the Pacific Northwest....and I know that if you Google "Pacific Northwest" you'll get a lot of stuff to come up. You probably need a Bibliography, but you can go to the Library and find books really quick or you could just do the report and skip the Bibliography. You may lose points but at least you will have something to turn in and not a zero. 

I hope this helps? I also hope that you've learned your lesson...

Tensions are emerging so it's going to additionally holiday aside, for the reason that all empires ultimately get a divorce....
