The Last Wilderness: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Author-photographer Kennan Ward unveils true adventures in the wilderness of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northern Alaska. The Last Wilderness documents the remote wilderness, wild plants, scenic rivers and rarely seen wildlife. The adventure starts in 1987 with updates through summer 2001. The book concerns the mostt contraversial and debated lands in North America. "Perhaps more important than wildlife numbers is the fact that the refuge is one of the last places on earth where human impact is nearly non-existent. It is a place where nature's interactions are still intact, where wilderness endures. Kennan Ward's photographs provide potent testimony that the Ardtic Refuge is a trule exceptional place."
