I have never been to Alaska - one of four states I have not yet visited. All I know about Alaska I learned quite a few years ago from the remarkable book Coming Into the Country, by John McPhee - the best writer in America (IMHO*).

On December 1, 2002, NPR aired a special report about Mardy Murie, whose passion for the northern wilderness was crucial to the establishment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other protected spaces in Alaska.
