Coming into the Country
Residents of the Lower 48 sometimes imagine Alaska as a snow-covered land of igloos, oil  pipelines, and polar bears. But Alaska is far more complex geographically, culturally, ecologically, and politically than most Americans know, and few writers are as capable of capturing this complexity as John McPhee. InComing into the  Country, McPhee describes his travels through much of the state with bush pilots, prospectors, and settlers, as well as politicians and businesspeople who have their eyes set on a very different future for the state.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
