A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Jim DuFresne has lived, worked and wandered all across Alaska and has had a hand in all 10 editions of Lonely Planet's Alaska. As the sports and outdoors editor of the Juneau Empire, he was the first Alaskan sportswriter to win a national award from Associated Press. As a guide for Alaska Discovery he has witnessed Hubbard Glacier shed icebergs the size of pick-up trucks. Jim now lives in Michigan where he is a regular contributor to michigantrailmaps.com, but regularly returns to the Far North to update his books. Catherine Bodry has spent the bulk of her adult life rebelling from her suburban upbringing. She worked in Alaska during her summers in college, and then stayed to experience winter and go to grad school. She spent four years living in Seward and now calls Anchorage home. She's contributed to several Lonely Planet guides, including Thailand, Canada, Discover Alaska and Pacific Northwest Trips. When she's not on the road for Lonely Planet, she's usually running the trails in the Chugach or dodging moose on the bike trails in Anchorage. A native of Canada, Robert Kelly first hitchhiked north after high school and found that he was quite at home in unbounded wilderness. Later, a series of summer jobs in Dawson City allowed him plenty of time to cross borders into Alaska and pursue his passion for hiking and road trips. For research on this guide, Robert happily returned to some old haunts (Chicken, how little you've changed !), re-drove the sublime Richardson Hwy, and finally made it to the Arctic Ocean. Robert has been a freelance writer for the past decade and Alaska was his 7th guide for Lonely Planet.
