Hanukkah in Alaska is unlike anywhere else. Snow piles up over the windows. Daylight is only five hours long. And one girl finds a moose camped out in her backyard, right near her favorite blue swing. She tries everything to lure it away: apples, carrots, even cookies. But it just keeps eating more tree! It's not until the last night of Hanukkah that a familiar holiday tradition provides the perfect—and surprising—solution.

The Blue Bear
Author: Lynn SchoolerPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0060935731
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
With a body twisted by adolescent scoliosis and memories of the brutal death of a woman he loved, Lynn Schooler kept the world at arm's length, drifting through the wilds of Alaska as a commercial fisherman, outdoorsman, and wilderness guide. In 1990, Schooler met Japanese photographer Michio Hoshino, and began a profound friendship cemented by a shared love of adventure and a passionate quest to find the elusive glacier bear, an exceedingly rare creature, seldom seen and shrouded in legend. But only after Hoshino's tragic death from a bear attack does Schooler succeed in photographing the animal -- completing a remarkable journey that ultimately brings new meaning to his life. The Blue Bear is an unforgettable book. Set amid the wild archipelagoes, deep glittering fjords, and dense primordial forests of Alaska's Glacier Coast, it is rich with the lyric sensibility and stunning prose of such nature classics as Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams and Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard.
Fjords of Blue Ice, Alaska's Endicott & Tracy Arm

Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Tracy Arm, 32 miles long and averaging a mile wide, is surrounded by steep mountain walls rising up to 7,000 feet from sea level. It gains its visual power from the fact that so much is crammed into such a compact space. It is, in its own right, the sort of place that is worth traveling halfway around the world to see, a landscape that reminds us, residents and travelers alike, of why we came to Alaska.
