This is a travel guide that should be able to fulfill all your needs for information on what to do, how to do, where to go, where to eat, where to sleep, etc... when you are visiting Alaska. The authors did a magnificent job putting together this excellent travel guide.

The book is structured in eleven chapters, going from an overview of what is the best of Alaska, passing over the best Itineraries for different time length travels and covering different cities and regions, like Southeast Alaska, Anchorage & Environs, Kenai Peninsula & Prince William Sound, Denali National Park, Alaskan Interior and the Bush. Finally there is a chapter covering how to get there and how to plan an outdoor vacation. There is also indication of useful websites and fast facts about Alaska.
Each chapter has dozens of beautiful pictures, maps, as well as top tips, best places to eat, best places to drink and best places to shop, costs for attractions, hours of operations, etc.

I have never been to Alaska, and this guide was an excellent way of awakening my desire to go there. It is full of magnificent photos and so rich in detail that I felt that I had already visited most of the places. Definitely I will include Alaska in my plans for future travels.

This is an outstanding result for a combined effort from four different authors and it was published by Frommer's in February 2012. This is a must have book for those who are serious about planing their trips and also for those who want to remember details on previous travels, while wishing they can return to Alaska some day in the future.

Amazon.com was kind enough to provide this book for me through their Vine Program for reviewing and I was not request to provide a positive review. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Non-fiction book written by a journalist who lives in Alaska. He describes the culture of the climate scientists and the Eskimos who live on the land and how the debate and ef global warming has affected these two groups; their interactions amongst themselves and each other.

The Inupiaq and the climatologists are watching the ice retreat. Wohlforth makes the science understandable and the human stories sympathetic.
