Product Review
Whether it's a grizzly bear fishing for salmon on the banks of an icy river or a moonrise over Mount Brooks, the images in Untamed Alaska embody the essence of the U.S.'s wildest state. Loosely organized into nine sections, this photographic odyssey takes the reader from Denali National Park into the islands, forests, and mountains of Alaska, and even beyond the Arctic Circle, to the very edge of the northern ice fields. Spectacular images of erupting volcanoes and forbidding glaciers alternate with intimate portraits of Alaska's flora and fauna: a field of lupines, a napping arctic fox, a Dall sheep soaking in the sun. The forward by Margaret E. Murie reveals the character and humor of the people who have made Alaska their home, while the short essays prefacing every chapter provide additional information about the land, the animals, and the environment that is Untamed Alaska.
Reader Reviews
The Introduction by long-time Fairbanks resident Margaret Murie leaves the reader wishing for more - well written. Then, after reviewing the amazing close-ups (often aerial views), one is also thankful for the wisdom, as Murie says, of William Seward (Secretary of State) and Andrew Jackson who pushed the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. Photos include not only the expected Mt. Whitney, Northern lights, Denali Park, glaciers, grizzlies, moose, caribou, and bald eagles, but also Dall sheep, walrus, humpback whales, etc. - even a killer whale totally out of the water in pursuit of prey. Many of the photos were taken in remote areas of Alaska, and leave one wondering at the extraordinary effort and creativity involved in obtaining them. Good News: This book, not currently available through Amazon, is available at Borders for $4.99.
