Description

These timeless, beautifully written essays share encounters and observations on a lot of Alaskan wildlife and include natural history information.
They have a wide reach, in quite a lot of ways. But even so essays about Alaska’s best-known and most charismatic animals―as an example grizzlies and wolves, moose and Dall sheep, bald eagles and beluga whales―Sherwonit introduces readers to many of Alaska’s in large part overlooked species, from wood frogs to redpolls and shrews to lynx and wolverines. The stories are also geographically diverse, with stories that stretch across the state, from the Panhandle to the Arctic, and also from Alaska’s urban center, Anchorage, to its most remote backcountry.
The essays also examine the complicated relationships humans have with other animals, and imagine different ways of knowing, and in relation to, these critters. They’re intended to be thought-provoking in addition to entertaining: to increase readers’ awareness and get people thinking about their own relationships with wild neighbors, wild relatives, and the inherent value that these animals have, without reference to what they give to us.
