A third edition of a classic work on cold climate ecosystems, updated with a new chapter on mammals and birds.

Set against the backdrop of interior Alaska, the narrative follows a field expedition by five biologists exploring a 4000-square-mile, roadless region. Commissioned by the U.S. government after the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the journey delves into the area's rich cultural and natural history. The expedition's findings played a crucial role in determining the future of the land, which eventually became the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve.
