Alaska Travel Guide.  1st Edition.  Bradt Publications.  256 pages.


Alaska's licence plate slogan 'The Last Frontier' says it all. This is a state that, until the1970s, had far more male residents than female. 'The odds are good,' the women used to say, 'but the goods are odd.' Bradt's Alaska guides visitors beyond the cruise ship ports and into the real Alaska. Written by a local, the book includes a comprehensive guide to Alaska's flora and fauna, and draws on the author's many years of experience exploring and guiding tourists on kayaking and hiking trips through this vast wilderness little touched by the hand of man.



• The only guide to feature the destinations in Alaska accessible by rail, car and ferry


•Flora and fauna section details every plant and animal the visitor is likely to see

•Detailed hiking maps and advice on planning an expedition

•History and insights into political and environmental concerns
