Heuer's account of a season following the migrating caribou from their winder feeding grounds to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Determined to convey both the enormity of the caribou migration and the delicacy of their habitat, Karsten Heuer and his wife spent their honeymoon following the herd. For five months, they traveled an uncharted course on foot over mountains, through snow and across frozen rivers, with only three semi-scheduled food drops for support. As with the caribou, Heuer and his wife faced dwindling fat reserves and stalking by ravenous grizzlies and wolves just awakened from hibernation.  (ALA229, $15.00)
