| Publisher Description: Alaska's world-famous natural beauty and its citizens' unique lifestyles come alive in this exceptional collection of color photographs. An extensive photo search has resulted in an outstanding and genuine portrayal of the Last Frontier, including all the major tourist destinations, such as Denali National Park, the Inside Passage, and Glacier Bay National Park. Plus, this high-quality giftbook captures the spirit of living and working in Alaska, from the busy urban centers of Anchorage and Fairbanks to the bush cabins of solitary gold prospectors and youthful homesteaders, isolated Indian villages, and high-tech but extraordinarily remote military outposts. The heartfelt words of early explorers, conservationists, and numerous writers enhance the visual images. |
