The Aleutian Islands of Alaska: Living on the Edge is a stunning combination of breathtaking photographs and captivating essays. The book provides a small window into life in the remote island communitities between the North Pacific and the Bering Sea, the ancestral home of the Unangan people, also known as the Aleut.

This beautiful book concentrates on the people, the landscape, and the animals of this emerald necklace of intriguing islands that bridges the icy waters of the the North Pacific, connecting North America with Asia. The remarkable photographs pose questions that are answered by ordinary residents: Unangan who write from a depth of ancestral attachment and newcomers who have been captivated by the history and beauty of the regio.

The photographs dramtically convey the tempermental weather that makes  the islands at once notorious and alluring: banks and fingers of fog, shafts of sunlight, and the startling greens and blues of summer. It is a collection that took years to experience and a trained and gifted photographer to capture.
