Book Description:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is funnier, a loaf of bread or a bear? Who has the worst mosquitos, Panama or Arctic Alaska? Why aren\u2019t people scared of herbivores? This book will explore these and other weighty questions, such as how to coexist with salmonberries, why a short plane flight in rural Alaska might take six hours, and what the principal should do when a bear is peering into a classroom window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These one hundred short essays cover topics such as Alaskan wild foods, fear of spiders, love of fireworks and roller coasters, and why cats are good for you. The writings are accompanied by the author\u2019s drawings and photographs, including images of the Alaskan wilderness as seen from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
