Last Giant of Beringia The Mystery of the Bering Land Bridge Dan O'Neill
During the last Ice Age, today's subarctic was bizarrely left mostly unglaciated. Because so much of the earth's water was trapped in glaciers sea level was considerably lower than today, and a great land bridge stretched from Siberia to Alaska. On it massive animals ranged, and humans migrated together with the game. This land bridge, named Beringia after the arctic explorer Vitus Bering, was the great discovery of New England geologist Dave Hopkins. In this finely researched, elegantly written book, Alaskan historian O'Neill relates a dual story, that of Hopkins, the last giant of the title, and the converging discoveries that led to the articulation of the now-accepted land-bridge theory.
