In such a giant and forbidding place, people lose their way. They hurt themselves. Their equipment fails. They clash with wildlife. And in Alaska, one stroke of bad luck-one small mistake-can mean catastrophe. This book recounts twenty true misadventures, all but one told from the survivor's point of view. Its chapters describe getting lost in the wilderness, bear attacks, dead-stick landings, snowmobile mishaps, overturned canoes, and even escape from a steaming volcano. Told as cautionary tales, these chapters are not only a nail-biting good read on their own, but an illustration of the many perils of living, working, and recreating in the Last Frontier.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chris Lundgren is the author of two books, The Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy, and Legendary Locals of Chugiak-Eagle River. She has written for Runner's World, Alaska Coast, Morris Publications and other magazines and newspapers across the country. A 21-year resident of Alaska, Chris spends as much time in the outdoors as possible. She is a longtime volunteer at the Eagle River Nature Center, a place where local guides and outdoor experts teach workshops and through which thousands of tourists pass each year. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska.
