A great book on the state of Alaska, Full of Facts and History.
As a long-term resident of the Last Frontier, I enjoy having the book handy somewhere between my computer, two Greenland Huskies, and the phone. The special 30th Anniversary edition continues a long tradition of concise information about our large and very diverse state.
This is the 30th edition of the Alaska Almanac, a compendium of facts about the biggest state in the United States. Organized alphabetically, it covers everything from population to average temperatures to the number of fur-bearing animal species present in the state.
