High atop cascading waterfalls and deep within the

lush green depths of the valleys, swiss photographer

Ruedi Homberger has for more than twenty years

captured in photographs the majestic beauty of

eastern Alaska’s Wrangell Mountains. in addition

to summiting some of the Wrangells’ loftiest peaks,

Homberger has in recent years incorporated a

technically challenging new approach into his

work. Flying above the mountains in a small plane,

Homberger literally goes to new heights to reveal a

series of stunning aerial views. The first book-length

collection of photographs focusing exclusively on

the Wrangell-saint elias National Park and Preserve,

My Wrangell Mountains offers readers a rare

opportunity to “stand among the giants.” included

in this magnificent oversized volume are over three

hundred full-color photographs and an accompanying

selection of sketches by award-winning illustrator

Jon Van Zyle.

Born in switzerland, Ruedi Homberger is a climber

and photographer who has spent his life exploring

new horizons. Jon Van Zyle is an artist whose

illustrations appear in many children’s books,

including A Woolly Mammoth Journey and Raven

and River. Jona Van Zyle is a writer, painter, and

curator whose work has appeared in Mushing

Magazine.

the Alaska Forum of the Fourth international Polar

Year, this interdisciplinary volume addresses a host

of current concerns regarding the ecology and

rapid transformation of the arctic. Concentrating

on the most important linked social-ecological

systems, including fresh water, marine resources,

and oil and gas development, this volume explores

opportunities for sustainable development from a

variety of perspectives, among them social sciences,

natural and applied sciences, and the arts. individual

chapters highlight expressions of climate change in

dance, music, and film, as well as from an indigenous

knowledge–based perspective.

political science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

For thousands of years, fisheries were crucial to

the sustenance of the First Peoples of the Pacific

Coast. Yet the effects of human settlement have left

us with a woefully incomplete understanding of their

histories before the industrial era. Covering Alaska,

British Columbia, and Puget sound, the Archaeology

of North Pacific Fisheries illustrates how the

archaeological record reveals new information about

ancient ways of life and the histories of key species.

individual chapters cover salmon and a number of

lesser-known species abundant in archaeological

sites, including pacific cod, herring, rockfish, eulachon,

and hake. in turn, this ecological history informs

suggestions for sustainable fishing in today’s rapidly

changing environment.

Raven and River leads young readers on a fantastical

journey with a raven across the icy Alaska landscape

on the verge of spring. Along the way, the raven’s

sonorous cry wakes a cast of sleeping woodland

creatures, including a bear, a beaver, a hare, and

a squirrel—all of whom join him in imploring the

still-frozen river to melt and initiate the change of

seasons. Packed with information and featuring

vibrant full-color illustrations by Jon Van Zyle,

Raven and River brings to life these important

harbingers of Alaska’s spring.

Based in seattle, Nancy White Carlstrom has written

more than sixty books for children. Jon Van Zyle is

an award-winning artist whose illustrations appear in

many children’s books, including A Woolly Mammoth

Journey and A Caribou Journey.

The remarkable story of the golden plover’s annual

migration, this beautifully illustrated nature title

for young readers sees the small but mighty plover

embark on a six-thousand-mile flight between the

frozen Alaska tundra and the gentle, grassy slopes

of the Hawaiian islands. equally at home in its two

very different habitats, the once-endangered golden

plover has evolved many behaviors and adaptations

that make it perfectly suited to each of its homes,

and this book contains many fascinating facts about

them. Readers are also introduced to the plover’s

neighbors and friends—from the giant Hawaiian

goose, or nene, to the musk ox, grizzly bear, arctic

fox, and sandhill crane.

Debbie S. Miller is the author of several picture

books, including A Woolly Mammoth Journey and

A Caribou Journey. Daniel Van Zyle is a cofounder

of the Hawaii Artists society and one of wildlife art’s

most prominent print artists.

imam Cimiucia: our Changing seaAnnE sAloMon, niCK tAnAPE, sR., AnD HEnRy HUntington

Through the dual lenses of Western science and

traditional Native knowledge, Imam Cimiucia explores

the ecological, social, and economic causes of coastal

ecosystem change on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula.

Coastal communities there—and the world over—

have witnessed dramatic changes in their homes in

recent years, and this innovative collaboration brings

together the research efforts of marine scientists

with the experiences, perceptions, and knowledge of

sugpiaq elders and other village residents whose lives

are shaped by the sea. This book offers insight into

the resilience—and limits—of marine ecosystems, as

well as the vast archive of knowledge and expertise

held by different cultures.

Anne Salomon is assistant professor in the school

of Resource and environmental Management at

simon Fraser University. Nick Tanape, Sr., is a

sugpiaq elder in Nanwalek, Alaska, and Native

community representative at the Pratt Museum

Among the world’s foremost pedestrian foragers,

the Ahtna Athabascans possess a profound system

of geographic knowledge that has facilitated travel

and spatial cognition in Ahtna and other Athabascan

languages. shedding light on a number of precise

landscape classifications, including Ahtna place

names and river directionals, these indigenous travel

narratives represent walking tours comprising more

than one thousand miles of traditional routes and

trails in the Ahtna language area. Providing context

for these narratives are maps, photos, interviews, and

a wealth of ethnographic, linguistic, historical, and

methodological information.

historical and recent dancing.

pun: The Arctic Snow gives third- and fourth-graders a chance to enter the harsh and magical world of the Arctic, where apun �the Iñupiaq word for snow cover� de�nes the landscape and culture. Fun, interactive, and full of charming illustrations, Apun will teach kids about the chemistry and physics of arctic snow cover while exposing them to the rich Iñupiaq vocabulary of snow.

An excellent resource for educators, parents, and older students, this Teacher’s Guide to An excellent resource for educators, parents, and older students, this Teacher’s Guide to Apun addresses the same topics in the children’s book—snow and life, snow crystals, changing snow, and snow and people—but takes them to an adult level. Armed with accessible and thorough explanations of phenomena such as diamond dust, snow saltation, and depth hoar crystals, parents and teachers will be empowered to help children explore apun more deeply, while advanced students will enjoy the opportunity to get to know apun on their own.
