From the polar bear and the gray wolf to the walrus and river otter, there are 115 species of mammals in Alaska that have never been fully catalogued until now. Biologists Joseph A. Cook and Stephen O. MacDonald have compiled here the first comprehensive guide to all of Alaska’s mammals, big and small, endearing and ferocious. Through extensive fieldwork and research the authors have produced a unique and authoritative reference. Detailed entries for each species include distribution and taxonomic information, status, habitat, and fossil history. Appendices include quick reference listings of mammal distribution by region, specimen locations, conservation status, and the incidence of Pleistocene mammals. The guide is generously illustrated with line drawings by Alaskan artist W. D. Berry and includes several maps indicating populations and locations of species. Mammals of Alaska will be an accessible, easy to use source for scholars and hobbyists alike. Minimize

What do bears really do in the woods? Find out in this charming full-color book by world-renowned wildlife photographers Erwin and Peggy Bauer, winners of the North American Photography Association's 2000 Lifetime Achievement Award. The Bauers -- who have been spying on wildlife for decades -- are from the old school of wildlife photography, spending hundreds of hours in the field and never using photo manipulation. The bears we meet in this intimate keepsake book are playful, handsome, ferocious, curious, hungry, protective -- and always intensely wild. From the remote beauty of a polar bear crossing the ice to the comical antics of a grizzly trying to satisfy an itch, bears capture our imagination like no other animal. This stunning portfolio of work has 75 full color photographs and covers such magnificent country as Katami National Park, Denali, and Kodiak Island. Included is information on bear-viewing safety and a basic natural history of each species. Minimize

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1911. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF ALASKA THE RAVEN MYTH Eskimo (Bering Straits) IT was in the time when there were no people on the earth plain. The first man for four days lay coiled up in the pod of the beach pea. On the fifth day he stretched out his feet and burst the pod. He fell to the ground and when he stood up he was a full-grown man. Man looked all around him and then at himself. He moved his hands and arms, his neck and legs. When he looked back he saw, still hanging to the vine, the pod of the beach pea, with a hole in the lower end out of which he had dropped. When he looked about him again, he saw that he was getting farther from his starting place. The ground seemed to move up and down under his feet, and it was very soft . After a while he had a strange feeling in his stomach, so he stooped down to drink some water from a small pool at his feet. Then he felt better. When Man looked up again he saw coming toward him, with a fluttering motion, something dark. He watched the dark thing until it stopped just in front of him. It was Raven. As soon as Raven stopped, he raised one of his wings and pushed up his beak, as though it were a mask, to the top of his head. Thus Raven changed at once into a man. Raven stared hard at Man, moving from side to side to see him better. Raven said, "What are you? Where did you come from? I have never seen anything like you." Raven still stared at Man, surprised to find this new thing so much like himself. He made Man walk around a little, while he perked his head from side to side to see him better. Then Raven said again, in astonishment, "Where did you come from? I have never seen anything like you before." Man said, " I came from the pea pod." He pointed to the plant from which he came. "Ah, I made that vine," said Raven. "But ... Minimize

More than twenty years ago, a disillusioned college graduate named Peter Jenkins set out with his dog Cooper to look for himself and his nation. His memoir of what he found, A Walk Across America, captured the hearts of millions of Americans.Now, Peter is a bit older, married with a family, and his journeys are different than they were. Perhaps he is looking for adventure, perhaps inspiration, perhaps new communities, perhaps unspoiled land. Certainly, he found all of this and more in Alaska, America's last wilderness.Looking for Alaska is Peter's account of eighteen months spent traveling over twenty thousand miles in tiny bush planes, on snow machines and snowshoes, in fishing boats and kayaks, on the Alaska Marine Highway and the Haul Road, searching for what defines Alaska. Hearing the amazing stories of many real Alaskans--from Barrow to Craig, Seward to Deering, and everywhere in between--Peter gets to know this place in the way that only he can. His resulting portrait is a rare and unforgettable depiction of a dangerous and beautiful land and all the people that call it home. He also took his wife and eight-year-old daughter with him, settling into a "home base" in Seward on the Kenai Peninsula, coming and going from there, and hosting the rest of their family for extended visits. The way his family lived, how they made Alaska their home and even participated in Peter's explorations, is as much a part of this story as Peter's own travels.All in all, Jenkins delivers a warm, funny, awe-inspiring, and memorable diary of discovery-both of this place that captures all of our imaginations, and of himself, all over again.

'Operating on a shoestring, for this was the height of the Depression, we launched at Nenana two skiffs of our own making and unconventional design, like the most foolhardy party that ever embarked on the great river. For the next 80 days, over a distance of 1,600 miles, we fared through what was then truly a wilderness looking for ancient archaeological sites and recording our adventures and misadventures, our many disappointments and fewer lucky finds, and above all, our rewarding contacts with the Native peoples and white settlers we met along the way' - Frederica de Laguna.This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries." Travels Among the Dena" chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author's photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology. Frederica de Laguna is professor emerita of anthropology at Bryn Mawr College. Her many publications include "Tales of the Dena: Indian Stories from the Tanana, Koyukuk, and Yukon Rivers". Minimize

Fairbanks, Alaska? Adventure. 40 below zero. Bears, moose . ... Read more

Fairbanks, Alaska? Adventure. 40 below zero. Bears, moose . . . husband-school dropout of an ex. Yikes! Abigail Vertuccio has three goals in life. One. Don't let people find out about her infuriating habit of seeing the future. Two. Stop seeing the future. Three. Get as far away from Fairbanks, Alaska as she can. She thought she'd succeeded when she hopped in her ancient motor home, Big Ellie, and hit the road. Only now she's back - Grandma's orders - to help run the family rural air service, Alaska Virgin Air. Home only a week, Abbey stumbled onto a plot to destroy the family business. Never one to leave matters to the experts, she and two of her zanier friends orchestrate a counter-attack of stakeouts and spying that has even the Alaska State Troopers rolling in the aisles. Despite all her efforts, she's batting zero on the spy front. Someone's trying to kill her. As if that isn't bad enough, things with her ex are alternately heating up and scaring the hell out of her. At this point, she has only one question. What are the chances she'll end up in someone's bed, married again, or just plain dead? Okay. Two questions. What the hell good is being clairvoyant if it never seems to work when she really, really wants it to? Raves for Alaska Virgin Air: "In her debut novel, Izzy Ballard has created a heroine who not only is clairvoyant, but sassy, sexy, and warmhearted - the kind of best friend we all wish we could have. Alaska Virgin Air is a comic romp through a northern landscape rich with quirky characters, the adventurous culture of Bush flying, and romantic intrigue. Snappy dialogue, strong characters, and plot surprises make this a compelling read for those who like their mysteries served with humor." Sherry Simpson, author of "The Accidental Explorer" "Share intrigue, adventure and romance on the last frontier with an engaging set of quirky characters that include our Alaska born, independent-minded heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, her man-magnet mother, her airline-owning-rock-music-roadie grandmother, revenge-seeking British royalty, their spoiled man-child and enough handsome-charming-save-the-day bush pilots that add the icing on this easy to devour book. Alaska Virgin Air is a comic mystery told with wit and assurance. . .that keeps you engaged to the very end." Pat Walsh, co-author of "Catch and Release." "To anyone who enjoys Janet Evanovich and is fascinated by Alaska, I recommend Alaska Virgin Air." Juanita Helms, former Mayor, Fairbanks, Alaska ". . .the Alaskan setting and the snapping dialog will appeal to readers." Library Journal "Alaska Virgin Air is a fun-filled ride of humor, intrigue and romance. Readers will enjoy following its clairvoyant heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, as the tries to save the family air taxi business while navigating her way through mysteries that surround her family and friends in the Last Frontier." Laurel Bill, author, "Aunt Phil's Trunk" Minimize
