Color identification plates, plus color photos. This series of Paperback books provides the only single-volume overview of the geography, habitats and wildlife of each region, with color illustrations of the common species, plus history, geography, climate, where to go, and what to see.

Alaska has both vast wilderness tracts and a modern transportation system, making eco-travelling in the state easy as well as exciting. From the broad expanses of tundra in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the rich seabird colonies of the Bering Sea to the glacier-bedecked snowy mountains and magnificent forests of the Southeast, wildlife viewing opportunities abound. In this book is all the information you will need to find, identify, and learn about Alaska's magnificent animal life.

  • Identifying and location information on the most frequently seen animals.
  • Full-color illustrations of more than 320 of Alaska's most common marine invertebrates, insects, amphibians, fishes, birds, and mammals.
  • Up-to-date information on the ecology, behavior, and conservation of the animals.
  • Information on Alaska's habitats and on the most common plants you will encounter.
  • Brief descriptions of Alaska's most frequently visited parks and reserves.

    Easy to carry, entertainingly written, beautifully illustrated - you will want to have this book as constant companion on your journey.
