Alaska Light: Ideas and Images from a Northern Land

Alaska Light: Ideas and Images from a Northern Land by Heacox, Kim. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780944197561.

Alaska Light, like Alaska itself, is rich with extremes. From the Arctic Slope to the Inside Passage, from glaciers and grizzlies to sled dogs and caribou dreams, "Alaska Light" paints a mosaic of landscapes and wildlife. Five essays are complemented by 28 story photo captions about Alaskas geography, wildlife, and people while the back pages are devoted to a timetable of Alaskan history. More than a pretty picture book, it has heart, humor and beauty that honor the best we can do for Alaska, and Alaska for us.
