Title: Alaska Impressions: Then and Now
Review: This is a very nicely written book which traces the Harriman Alaska expedition of 1899. Railroad magnate Edward Harriman went on and sponsored a major expedition of scientists and naturalists to the coasts of Alaska and modern Alaskan Nancy Lord traced this expedition, following it in part with family and friends in her own fishing boat. The book is thought-provoking and does a good job of describing changes and common themes in Alaska over 100 years. As I read on, I could anticipate the author's perspective on issues. I found myself wanting more information about the expedition, including more maps and photos. Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it.
