Jonathan Waterman blends historical narrative with vivid
tales of his journeys into the Arctic, creating tension
between past and present, science and politics, reflection
and investigation. Since 1983, he has taken eighteen trips
into the far North, trekking and paddling thousands of miles
and encountering howling wolves, Inupiat hunters, and the
oil-ravaged Prince William Sound. Where Mountains Are
Nameless explores how oil exploration has choked
Alaska's pristine wilderness and also traces the lives of
the celebrated Muries. This memorable portrait makes the
stakes over ANWR vividly clear. 3 maps, 23 illustrations.
