Northern
Lights: The Science, Myth, and Wonder of Aurora Borealis
by Calvin Hall (Photographer), Daryl Pederson (Photographer)
Electric green pierced by neon blue, shocking pink spinning into violent
red, and shimmering purple sidled up against deep indigo: never before
have you seen such high-octane colors in the sky, and never before has
a book shown the northern lights—aurora borealis—in such vivid color. In
Northern Lights, photographers Calvin Hall and Daryl Pederson bring to
print nearly a hundred photographs of this amazing natural phenomenon,

Rivers
of Life : Southwest Alaska, the Last Great Salmon Fishery
by Robert Glenn Ketchum (Photographer), Jan Konigsberg (Introduction)
Covering an area larger than the state of Washington, southwest Alaska
is a vast watershed that drains from the summits and uplands of the Alaska
and Aleutian mountain ranges, west to Bristol Bay and the Bering Sea. Working
with the support of numerous national foundations, Native corporations
and villages, and all the state and federal offices that manage these lands,
Robert Glenn Ketchum has brought his rich vision of the landscape and his
history of pro-active work to bear on behalf of conservation of the freshwater
habitat in the Bristol Bay watershed. His vibrant, encompassing photographs
reveal a destination with which few of us are familiar, but one that has
a stunning beauty and scale. The centennial edition of Audubon named Ketchum
one of the one hundred champions of conservation "who shaped the environmental
movement of the twentieth century." His prints can be found in most of
the major museum collections in the United States, and he is exhibited
internationally. Amazon.com

Untamed
Alaska
by Steve Kaufman (Photographer), et al
Whether it's a grizzly bear fishing for salmon on the banks of an icy
river or a moonrise over Mount Brooks, the images in Untamed Alaska embody
the essence of the U.S.'s wildest state. Loosely organized into nine sections,
this photographic odyssey takes the reader from Denali National Park into
the islands, forests, and mountains of Alaska, and even beyond the Arctic
Circle, to the very edge of the northern ice fields. Spectacular images
of erupting volcanoes and forbidding glaciers alternate with intimate portraits
of Alaska's flora and fauna: a field of lupines, a napping arctic fox,
a Dall sheep soaking in the sun. The forward by Margaret E. Murie reveals
the character and humor of the people who have made Alaska their home,
while the short essays prefacing every chapter provide additional information
about the land, the animals, and the environment that is Untamed Alaska.
