Interior Alaska by Richard K. Nelson Book PDF Summary
"In this book Thorson and his colleagues in other scientific disciplines, each with a personal commitment to the Great Land, interpret past performances in its geologic and human history and put them into everyday perspective, in everyday terms. We see the oceans rising and falling, the Great Ice Sheet advancing and retreating, mountain ranges building and crumbling, monster mammals roaming the land as vegetation grows and spreads, human beings crossing the Bering Land Bridge to populate the New World. It's science-fact more gripping than science-fiction, a beautiful story, sure to capture the imagination and add to the understanding of the powers at work on Planet Earth"--Page 4 of cover.
