Description: "Northern Landscapes: The Struggle for Wilderness Alaska is the first book to tell the story of the campaign to preserve wild Alaska through the creation of a vast system of parks and wildlife refuges." "Northern Landscapes is an essential guide to Alaska's recent past and to contemporary local and national debates over the future of public lands and resources. Drawing on archival sources and interviews, Daniel Nelson traces disputes over resources alongside the politics of the Alaska statehood movement. He provides in-depth coverage of the growth of Alaskan environmental organizations, their partnerships with national groups, and their participation in political campaigns into the 1970s and after."--BOOK JACKET.
