Alaska at 50
Alaska became a state in 1959. Alaska at 50 commemorates that anniversary with essays from some of today's most noteworthy and recognizable writers and researchers. Each of the over twenty contributors brings a strong voice to the history of Alaska and a glimpse into the possibilities for the next fifty years. Written in highly accessible prose, this book has three overarching sections: art, culture, and humanities; law, economy, and politics; and environment, people, and place. It should be read by every Alaskan and anyone interested in the forty-ninth state. Each contributor had the freedom to be as creative and bold as his or her topic and expertise allowed, resulting in a masterful overview of Alaska statehood and a vision for the next fifty years.
