Review
Although I rarely review magazines, the content and style of this publication intrigued me...Each issue focuses on a different aspect of Alaska, adding to the look and feel of the book. Alaska, the last great American wilderness, deserves a geographic society of its own. A magazine strategy allows for a comprehensive backlist of information which, taken as a whole, creates its own indexed library. -- The Bloomsbury Review
Southcentral Alaska's Kenai Peninsula embraces the traditional Alaska of hunters, fishermen and homesteaders, as well as the modern Alaska fueled by the oil and gas industries. This economy swirls around the magnificent scenery and striking wildlife that have made the Kenai famous. With index. 128 pages. -- From the Publisher

A great collection of Kenai history,
By
This review is from: The Kenai Peninsula (Alaska Geographic) (Paperback)
This book is a good collection of history and descriptions of Alaska's south-central Kenai Peninusula. It's nicely organized town by town (though it doesn't have an index), and though it's fairly deferential to the area--as if it was written by the Alaska Bureau of Tourism--it's not afraid to tell about things like the whorehouse that was until very recently right outside of Soldotna.
It's full of good photos and, though it sometimes feels like a magazine in book form, is a very nice volume for fans of the Kenai to buy and treasure. I've been researching a book that I want to write on Soldotna, Alaska, and the information in this book was very helpful to me. I think anyone that lives on this peninsula, or that's visited there, would enjoy it as well.
