The Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands: Region of Wonders

This richly illustrated book depicts the region, from the shores of Alaska, along the volcanic stretch of the Aleutian Islands, to the Russian coast. The text is accompanied by more than 450 color photos, drawings, and maps showing the region's people, villages, landforms, plants, and animals. Johnson describes the biological and physical worlds above and below the sea. He also covers highlights (and lowlights) of the region's history including present-day efforts to study, manage, and utilize the region's natural resources.
