| Coming into the Country |
by John McPhee, Residents of the Lower
48 sometimes imagine Alaska as a snow-covered land of
igloos, oil pipelines, and polar bears. But Alaska is far
more complex geographically, culturally, ecologically, and
politically than most Americans know, and few writers are as
capable of capturing this complexity as John McPhee. In
Coming into the Country, McPhee describes his travels
through much of the state with bush pilots, prospectors, and
settlers, as well as politicians and businesspeople who have
their eyes set on a very different future for the state. ebook available to borrow at Internet Archive |
