The books unusual (12x16), wide-open, landscape format is well-suited to the subject: the largest, most majestic state (and land) I've visited. Spectacular photos carefully edited from 11 photographers.

The cover (and back cover), 12x32, appropriate pays homage to Denali (Mt. McKinley), viewed from Wonder Lake. Plus numerous other views of Denali, and all Alaska's major regions, national parks, cities.

With plenty of thoughtful essays, also of high caliber. And at a great price...

This books wonderful photography brings back great memories of a fantastic fly in fishing trip with my son to Alaska. Up close and personal fishing with my son, the bears & Denali.

Alaska is our biggest state, and this book has some truly big pages (mostly 12x16, but occasional 12x36 foldouts). We see terrific photos of rainforests, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers, mountains, including of course, Denali (Mount McKinley), the aurora, volcanoes, wildlife, towns, cities, people, and more. And there are fifteen 12x16 pages of well-written articles: on history, landscapes, resources, and lifestyles. I really like this book, and I recommend it.
