Book Synopsis Inhabited Wilderness by : Theodore Catton

Book excerpt: This first volume in the New American West Series explores Alaska's vast national-park system and the evolution of wilderness concepts in the 20th century.

The author focuses on three principal national parksGlacier Bay, Denali, and Gates of the Arctic. 24 halftones. 2 maps.
