Alaska's southeast corner harbors the largest contiguos expanse of temperate rain forest on earth, much of it within the majestic, mysterious on a maze of islands and along a coastline protected by granite mountains. These mountains hold moisture along the coast, which combines with the region's geology to form a land of huge trees and a habitat for some of the most abundant wildlife left in the country. This book captures the region's incredible beauty and presents the unfinished story of what humans will do with one of the last, best places in our midst.
