This is the first comprehensive anthology of nature writing in Alaska and the Yukon. Ranging from 1741 to the present, it includes work by such major American writers as Jack London, Anne Dillard, and Edward Abbey, but the full beauty of this Arctic state is perhaps more dramatically captured in the writings of the explorers, missionaries, climbers, miners, scientists, fishermen, and Native Americans for whom its flora and fauna are a way of life.

John A. Murray is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
