Alaska Through the Lense of a Skillful Photographer...Review by D. S. Thurlow, 2010-04-04
"Alaska" is the 10th anniversary edition of acclaimed nature photographer Art Wolfe's stunning photographic survey of the 49th State. Wolfe explores the major habitats of Alaska, from Mountain to River & Lake, Tundra to Sea & Coast, and Forest to Island. Alaska writer Nick Jens provides a supporting commentary on Alaska's natural history.
The space, light, wildlife, and physical dimensions of Alaska can almost defeat a good photographer's ability to capture them. Wolfe's roughtly 150 photographs are therefore all the more remarkable for their consistently excellent artistry. For the non-resident, yes, Alaska really can be that spectacular on its best days. For those who haven't been to Alaska, yet, this coffee-table type collection is a superb introduction to what the state has on offer.
"Alaska" is very highly recommended to fans of Art Wolfe's superb nature photography, and to those who have or will visit Alaska's wild spaces.
Alaska
Review by Aliesha Shepherd, 2009-12-15
I bought this book because the pictures looked increadable and I was hoping to see Alaska from a new point of view, and I was not disappointed. Most of the pictures in here are like I have never seen before. However there were more typical pictures in here then I thought there would be. I wouldn't probably pay full price for it because of that, however I would buy it again at the price I got it for (around 10.00). Very nice to have on a table top or to just pull off the bookshelf to look at for inspiration for various things. If you like Art Wolfe you will like this book.

This book was a gift for my boyfriend. He has been in Alaska and feel in love with it. He enjoys the book... or so he says :)
Nice Alaska Book
Review by John Schwieder, 2009-01-21
As a full time Alaska based photographer, I can say that this is one of the best Alaska photography books. Nick Jan's words certainly help add context to the photography.
Art Wolfe's work has inspired much of my own. If you own this book or are intereted in Alaska or Alaska photography please take a look at my own newly released for 2009 ALASKA: America's Wildest State
