Download or read book Alaska s Brooks Range written by John Kauffmann and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 1992-11-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Explores both geologic and human history of the region * Includes a sampling of literature inspired by the Brooks Range * Examines past, present, and future conservation efforts in this extraordinary place Not just the ultimate mountains for their northernmost location on the North American continent, the Brooks Range also is one of the world's last, great, unspoiled wildernesses. A land of environmental and cultural extremes, its impressions on those who visit or reside there is as far-ranging as humankind's effect on the Range itself. Austere, mystical, and stunningly beautiful, the psychic and corpreal influence of the region is inescapable. Alaska's Brooks Range: The Ultimate Mountains looks at the many facets that make this region so provocative and so worthy of our strongest preservation efforts. It explores the geologic origins of some of the most desolate beauty on earth; the native inhabitants-both man and animal-whose age-old methods of survival have been altered by the winds from the lower 48; and the human history, from the early British military explorers to gold panners to the geographers who first mapped the Arctic wilderness. The story of Bob Marshall traces his influence as the father of the Arctic conservation movement, and Range Writings offers a sampling of literature inspired by the Brooks Range experience. Finally, this book takes a hard look at past, present, and proposed conservation efforts in the Brooks Range, because there is much more at stake than land and wildlife in this last frontier. The future of humankind is here, where the rarity of existence in pristine country is an everyday reality, where we can learn how best to fit in without destroying the scheme of life so exquisitely evolved on this planet. Alaska's Brooks Range is an affectionate portrait of an untamed territory-a land that challenges the limits of its natural inhabitants and those of human spirit and providence.

Download or read book Autumn in the Alaska Range written by Tom Sexton and published by Salmon Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are poems of the natural world, of light and dark and the changing of the seasons. We find Tu Fu chanting a poem deep in the Alaska Range, a man who becomes a bear during his morning walk, a world of light carved from a piece of ivory, and walruses in their home beneath the ocean deciding if they will offer themselves to a hunter. Not all of the poems are set in Alaska. There are poems about growing up in a decaying mill town, the suicide of the poet's mother and how the past is always with us. However, Sexton returns again and again to the conviction that the world itself is sacred -- an ancient belief we need to recover.

Download or read book Alaska s Wild West written by Cora Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the western edge of the last frontier, where the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean collide, a handful of valiant men and women established one of the most unusual ranches in Alaska. Here, for the first time, is the story of sheep ranching in the Aleutians, a story that matches the notorious weather gust for gust and storm for storm. No one could have told this story a swell as Cora Holmes. Her years of first hand experience on the ranch helped her shape a treasure trove of rare photographs and original documents into a fast-paced tale of turbulent weather, cut throat competitors, perseverance and heartache. She lets the characters in this drama speak for themselves, through reports, business letters, interviews, and-remarkably-love letters. This is a book both for readers who enjoy a great Alaskan tale and for historians. Cora Holmes is a gifted story teller and this is an Alaskan story like no other. From editor Ray Hudson
