Faced with a midlife crisis, Edward Hoagland decided to adventure out into one of the last wild territories remaining on Earth: Alaska. Intent on fully exploring the land, Hoagland travels from the Arctic Ocean to the Kenai Peninsula, the backstreets of Anchorage to the Yukon River, exhaustively documenting the flora, fauna and people of America's last frontier. In his forward, novelist Howard Frank Mosher describes this tale as "the best book ever written about America's last best place".  (ALA364, $22.95)
