Download or read book Plant Lore of an Alaskan Island written by Frances Kelso and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Plant Lore of an Alaskan Island" identifies the most common plants in the Kodiak archipelago. It includes edible and medicinal plants, with recipes for preparing for your table plus a special index section of medicinal plants with a brief description of their use. Native uses of these plants are emphasized, making the book somewhat of an ethnobotany. It's a good "armchair book" because it includes stories of gathering adventures, a section on the history of Ouzinkie, with stories and pictures, a full description and illustration of each plant, plus a "plant family index" with information about each plant family represented. Color and black and white photos enhance the pages. Take this book on foraging trips or enjoy reading it at home. Though focused on Spruce Island, these plants or a similar species can be found in many Alaskan locations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl treks into the Alaskan wilderness to find her missing father in “a heartwarming novel that is filled with adventure” (School Library Journal). Lily’s dad left a few weeks ago with some coffee, some donuts, and a backpack filled with everything he needed to claim Denali, the highest mountain in North America. Now, Lily refuses to believe what everyone else accepts to be true: that her father has died in the attempt to reach the summit. Lily’s grown up hiking in the Alaskan wilderness with her dad. He’s an expert climber. There’s no way he would let something like this happen. So instead of grieving, Lily decides to rescue him with the help of her older sister Sophie. Her plan takes her to Denali—and on a journey that tests her physically and emotionally . . . In this powerful debut, Hannah Moderow has written an authentic Alaskan adventure that crosses terrain both beautiful and haunting—and ultimately shows the bond of family and the wonder of wild places. “The novel’s descriptions of local wildlife, flora, and ever-present mosquitoes cast the vivid Alaskan wilderness as its own character in the story…An engrossing portrait of a girl’s devotion to her father and how she makes the most of everything he taught her.” —Publishers Weekly
