Review

The Nature of Alaska is a beautifully illustrated guide which highlights more than 275 familiar plants and animals, and dozens of Alaska's natural attractions. The Nature of Alaska is an indispensable single reference for amateur naturalists, students, tourists, and armchair travelers of all ages.

...a great identification book without being too bulky or cumbersome to carry around on the trail."
- Alaska Hike Search

"... lists 275 species in an easy to use format. The small size makes it perfect for carrying in a backpack, and the color-coded pages make looking up different sections easy and quick."
- Anchorage Municipal Libraries --- Midwest Book Review

    Useful information. The illustrated section on wildlife is great. It has good pictures and is not overwhelming. I was so impressed that I ordered copies for other family members going on our Alaska cruise in a couple months. I will take the book with me!

  • Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015
    This is a nice illustrated guide to some of the common plants and animals you will see in Alaska. It is light weight enough that it would be easy to carry around with you, although the format is too big to fit in a pocket.

    Excellent information with very detailed, precise drawings of each living critter and plant in Alaska.
    The detailed descriptions of each of the creatures, including plant life, is invaluable for anyone planning on hiking the back country or staking their claim and moving to Alaska.

    I took this with me to Alaska and used it to identify species as we saw them. Most were in the book with brief descriptions, but some were missing, common names not included. All in all, it met my needs @nd wasn’t too heavy to carry in my backpack.
