With a brief description of what happened in the massive 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens and overhead photos of the newly reformed landscape, in the aftermath of an earth changing event. Primeval unfolds to 4 panels, 3 foldouts, lots of photos, text about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, a colophon, and a sampling of real ash from the volcano, bound with wire edge binding. Comes with a tetrahedron case.
