Description
“Alaska Light,” like Alaska itself, is wealthy with extremes. From the Arctic Slope to the Within Passage, from glaciers and grizzlies to sled dogs and caribou dreams, “Alaska Light” paints a mosaic of landscapes and natural world. Five essays are complemented by 28 story photo captions about Alaska’s geography, natural world, and other folks even as the back pages are dedicated to a timetable of Alaskan history. More than a lovely picture book, it has heart, humor and attractiveness that honor the most productive we will be able to do for Alaska, and Alaska for us.
