4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Frontier, June 29, 2000

I have always dreamt of going to Alaska but never have, this book took me there. As my eyes came to rest on the first few pages, I was auh struck and could not stop turning from one magnificent photo to the next. Each picture made me feel as if I were standing right there, looking over a vast plain or giving close inspection to berries scatered amongst a rainbow blanket of fallen leaves. Crystal blue glaciers, wild life, old mining camps, quaint villages and the local inhabitants were all captured in the splender of this rugged part of the world. If you've never gone to Alaska and want to, step into the pages of this magnificent collection of photos and enjoy, Alaska, truley one of Americas last frontiers.

I received this book as a wedding gift and it is a beautiful coffee-table book with wonderful photos of one of the most picturesque areas in North America. The pictures of flora and fauna, glaciers and landscapes are enhanced by quotes and poems. A gentle book.
