Synopsis
Master storyteller James Michener reveals Alaska in all its awesome, sweeping majesty. From the near-forgotten past, to the highly technological present, from self-defense to self-determination, here are the men and women who tried to tame the land, seize its bounty, and lay claim to the elusive spirit that holds native and visitor spellbound. A stirring portrait of a human community living on the edge of the world, ALASKA claims a bold heritage of survival against all odds. "Michener has done a fine job....Few will escape the allure of the land and people he describes." LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVEIW

    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.

    Haven't read it yet but all of his books I have read were totally worth reading and recommending.

    I read some of James A. Michener's books years ago. With everything going on in the world right now and never knowing what might happen as far as water, electricity, and cell phone service I decided it was time to stock up on some good used paperback books and while looking for them on Ebay rediscovered this author's books. His stories about specific places especially have all the history of that particular place along, normally, with fictionalized generational family stories. I love his story telling ability because it keeps me from not wanting to put the book down.

    Typical Michener (it’s a good thing)

    I enjoy the facts and fiction used in Michener’s writing, so Alaska is no exception. He brings a new perspective to this story (from the point of view of a salmon, of all things) and does his usual storytelling by taking the reader through the history of Alaska from the mastodons to (relatively) present-day inhabitants. A great read if you have traveled to Alaska or are considering a trip!

    Great story, but the writing is too small.

    A truly great story. This book was in good condition. But compressing all these words in a paperback, makes for very tiny letters, which are difficult to read. I recommend you find a hard copy of this book, which has bigger letters.
