Product Description
"Alaska light, like Alaska itself, is rich with extremes," writes Kim Heacox. From the Arctic Slope to the Inside Passage, from glaciers and grizzlies to sled dogs and caribou dreams, Alaska Light paints a mosaic of landscapes and wildlife. Five essays are complemented by 28 story photo captions about Alaska's geography, wildlife, and people. The last pages of the book provide a timetable of Alaskan history.

5 out of 5 stars Photography as Poetry   July 28, 1999
  19 out of 19 found this review helpful

I saw this book alongside more than fifty kindred at the Denali Visitor Center. We chose this for our table display book because it alone showed Alaska as the word itself defines - "The Great Land." This is the book Robert Service would have chosen to illustrate his poetry about "the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder...the beauty that thrills me with wonder, it's the stillness that fills me with peace."

If you can't go, you are the poorer for it, but this book will enrich your eyes and your spirit.
