4-0 out of 5 stars Great mini-encyclopedia for anyone interested in Alaska.
What's the state gem of Alaska? What movies have been filmed there? How many species of whale are found in the state's waters? How did the town of Chicken get its name? What is a "bidarka" or an "oogruk" or a "pingo"? Who was Russian John Zarnowsky? If you're from "Outside," perhaps you've never heard of "breakup" or "termination dust." Whether you're an Alaska resident, a first-time or returning visitor, or simply someone who dreams of visiting the Last Frontier someday, this great book from the editors of the MILEPOST is choc full of great information.

The book is formatted somewhat like a light encyclopedia, with topics in alphabetical order. Most of the entries are short and to-the-point; the longest are only slightly over one page. It's interesting to read cover-to-cover, or you can just look things up as you need to. Residents of the state will already know some of the material, but there are also plenty of lesser-known facts included. I lived in Alaska for thirteen years and still learned several new things. My only criticism is that I wish they'd included a few more topics. For instance, there is no information on the Alaska Zoo, the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race, or Joe Redington, Sr., to name a few.

For the information "Alaska A to Z" does contain, however, I still highly recommend it. Published in 1997, it's a little bit old, so things like population figures are not quite current, but most of the entries are still applicable. The text is also interespersed with a selection of black-and-white photographs from the MILEPOST archives and quotes about Alaska from the famous and the not-so-famous. At the back of the book are two pages of contact information for various resources you might want to turn to for additional information. This is an excellent little reference for anyone with an interest in Alaska, resident or not. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Inside Passage
arrived in plenty of time.cruising by Ferry is just not my thing. interesting reading though

5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for ferry-hopping
Want to really experience the Inside Passage - up close and in person with the locals?A terrific alternative to cruise(cattle)boats, where you might have a few hours in the largest communities, this book will give you all the info you need for ferry-hopping.Pack a bag/backpack, grab this book and have a ball.You get the best data on each and every one of the communities that the ferry system serves - what to see &/or do, local accomodations or camping, facilities available and events. Who offers senior discounts, where can you rent a boat or find a local tour boat or flight, local trivia and anecdotes, what are the room rates...No, this isn't a sightseer's tourbook, it is a guide to the ferry system and the communities it serves - and for pennypinchers a MUST!Go - and have FUN!

1-0 out of 5 stars A major disappointment!
I bought this book because I am planning a trip to Alaska using the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system and I wanted to add to what I had learned from Frommer's general guide to Alaska.Sadly, the book was a waste of my money.Frommer's actually has more of the detail I was looking for, e.g. which portions of the route are most scenic and therefore should be planned for daylight passage.This book added literally nothingto my knowledge base, though my wallet issomewhat thinner.

4-0 out of 5 stars Planning my First Trip
Planning my first trip to Alaska this summer.Got this book to start...going to use others.This is a MUST BOOK if you plan on using the Alaska Ferry System a lot.This book would be useless if you plan on those big cruise boats. ... Read more

Excerpt: This is a list of Boundary Peaks of the Alaska-British Columbia border, including those on the Alaska-Yukon border, being those peaks named as border-points of the Canada-United States border as a result of the Alaska Boundary Settlement of 1903 and associated later surveys. Survey marker made of brass or concrete were placed on the summits of the accessible peaks designated in the treaty. They were placed such that from any one marker a surveyor could see the both the previous and the next markers along the boundary line. This was done so that if ever a question arose about jurisdiction anywhere along the border a determination could be made by sighting between two markers. Other peaks named in the treaty but not in the numbered-peak series include T Mountain, in the Stikine Icecap area ( )). Other peaks on the boundary but not named in the treaty include an unnumbered Boundary Peak in the Icefield Ranges immediately north of the Alsek River ( )) and Mount Vern Ritchie, to the north of there. Mountain passes on the boundary are few, the most important being Grand Pacific, Chilkat, Chilkoot and White Passes. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24943943 ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alaska is one of two U.S. states not bordered by another state; Hawaii the other. Alaska has more ocean coastline than all of the other U.S. states combined. It is one of two non-contiguous states in North America; Hawaii the other. About 500 miles (800 km) of Canadian territory separate Alaska from Washington State. Alaska is thus an exclave of the United States that is part of the continental U.S. but is not part of the contiguous U.S. Alaska is also the only state whose capital city is accessible only via ship or air. No roads connect Juneau to the rest of the continent. The state is bordered by Yukon and British Columbia, Canada to the east, the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean to the south, the Bering Sea, Bering Strait, and Chukchi Sea to the west, and the Beaufort Sea and the Arctic Ocean to the north. ...
