Edge of Tomorrow (Paperback)
An Arctic Year
Sam Wright
From one of the last great wildernesses—the Brooks Range of Alaska, one hundred miles inside the Arctic Circle—Sam Wright speaks to an emerging view of nature as an interconnected, dynamic whole. Living in a hand-built, 12' x 12' cabin, Wright records seasonal changes and his thoughts as he and his wife live a year in isolation and contemplation.
