Book excerpt: A look into the world of 22 fierce and often misunderstood predators inhabiting Alaska. Predators are charismatic animals that most people find fascinating and repellent in equal measure. Visitors to Alaska are mesmerized witnessing a bear or wolf moving across the tundra in search of its next meal, or watching salmon sharks leaping out of the water in pursuit of prey. Seeing a bald eagle swoop down to snatch an unsuspecting fish from the water fascinates onlookers, awed and impressed by this raptor's flight and sight capabilities. Alaska's Predators helps readers gain an understanding of these magnificent animals, their function in Alaska's ecosystems, and how and why they should be protected.

Book excerpt: This book assesses Alaskan wolf and bear management programs from scientific and economic perspectives. Relevant factors that should be taken into account when evaluating the utility of such programs are identified. The assessment includes a review of current scientific knowledge about the dynamics and management of large mammalian predator-prey relationships and human harvest of wildlife in northern ecosystems, and an evaluation of the extent to which existing research and management data allow prediction of the outcome of wolf management or control programs and grizzly bear management programs. Included is an evaluation of available economic studies and methodologies for estimating the costs and benefits of predator control programs in Alaska.

Book excerpt: One year ago, Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet. Yet even now, few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is. As chief executive of America's largest state, Sarah Palin had built a record as a reformer who pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector energy infrastructure project in U.S. history. She was also a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue-collar union man, and mother of five children. In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom's-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to "Country First" to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost. Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey, and imparts Palin's vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.

A shadow swoops across the tundra; lemmings and voles scurry beneath the foliage as the raspy cry of a hawk is carried on the cold north wind. Alaska is home to many of the world largest and most dangerous creatures, but none spark the human imagination like a bird of prey. With this book. Alaska's unique collection of birds of prey, owls, eagles, hawks, falcons, eagles, and harriers come to new life. Crowley's detailed woodcuts and rigorous research brings new life to these raptors and provides the reader with a raw perspective on their biology, history, and most of all, beauty.
Download or read book The Wolves of Mount McKinley written by Adolph Murie and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of Lewis and Clark, wolves were abundant throughout North America from the Arctic regions to Mexico. But man declared war on this cunning and powerful animal when cattle replaced the buffalo on the western plains, reducing the wolf’s range to those few areas in the Far North where economic necessity did not call for its extinction. Between 1939 and 1941, Adolph Murie, one of North America’s greatest naturalists, made a field study of the relationship between wolves and Dall sheep in Mount McKinley National Park (since renamed Denali National Park) which has come to be respected as a classic work of natural history. In this study Murie not only described the life cycle of Alaskan wolves in greater detail than has ever been done, but he discovered a great deal about the entire ecological network of predator and prey. The issues surrounding the survival of the wolf and its prey are more important today than ever, and Murie helps us understand the careful balance that must be maintained to ensure that these magnificent animals prosper. Originally available only in government publications which are long out-of-print, this account of a much maligned animal is now available in its first popular edition.
