In an eloquent testament to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, its animals, and its people, the author journeys from Yaak Valley in Montana to Alaska to witness one of the remaining landscapes on Earth where the wild remains pristine.
Nota de la solapa:
"Rick Bass says we must not destroy an ancient culture and another ecosystem for petroleum. Simple as that. Caribou Rising is a great read and utterly compelling in its reasoning. Bravo!"--William Kittredge, author of The Nature of Generosity and The Best Short Stories of William Kittredge
"Rick Bass, the gifted novelist and our most prolific western conservation writer, turns his keen hunter's eye to the besieged caribou land of the Gwich-'in--the Brooks Range and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. As an ex-gas and oil geologist, Bass argues with logic and passion, blasting away at the ignorance and greed of the Bush Administration's misled campaign to open the refuge to drilling."--Doug Peacock, author of Grizzly Years and inspiration for the rabble-rousing Hayduke in The Monkey Wrench Gang

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "This place at the top of the world is, in both a scientific and spiritual sense, the place where the Porcupine [caribou] keep coming into the world, year after year. Here, the caribou come into the Gwich-'in world again and again, as if issuing forth not so much from that one secret cleft formed by the base of the magnificent Brooks Range and the edge of the Beaufort Sea ice cap and the lichen-furzed sheet of tundra, but instead as if coming up through some vent or shaft or sacred bore-hole below--caribou rising vertically from that lower world like a blessing. It is this bounty that has shaped the Gwich-'in into what they are, as surely as landscape and the animal of time shape anything."--from CARIBOU RISING.
