A revised second edition of Alaska A to Z had to be published to satisfy demand for the sold-out first edition, proving once again that curiosity about the 49th state is unflagging. This book is a favorite with many bed and breakfasts in Alaska, who hand their guests the book whenever one of those frequently asked questions comes up about the pipeline, glaciers, what's the highest mountain, or how long is the Alaska Highway. This lively reference also covers arts and crafts, sled dogs, state symbols, volcanoes, wildlife, gold rushes, movies filmed in Alaska and sea disasters.A handy reference for students of Alaska, as well as out-of-state visitors, this compact encyclopedia is perfect for anyone interested in Alaska. An easy-to-read and entertaining reference book for your Alaska bookshelf, with illustrations and vintage photos from The Milepost archives.
