Synopsis

For over thirty years Eric and Doylanne Wade have traveled twice a year to their cabin on a river for an extended stay in the wilds of the Alaska boreal forest. There the adventure-loving couple has built a rewarding life among bear, moose, owls, grouse, and fish. Lately, their interest has been focused on squirrels, specifically the abundant and always amusing Alaska red squirrel. In Squirrelland, Eric writes about his varied experiences with squirrels, both wild and urban, but also layers in the observations of squirrel biologists and researchers as well as the musings of his grand imagination. Doylanne's many photographs make the story engaging and vibrant. Join the Wades on this visit to the Alaska wilderness and learn a few things about the antics of the common squirrel.

À propos des auteurs

Eric Wade, author of Upstream: In the Alaska Wilderness and Cabin: An Alaska Wilderness Dream, has spent the past four decades watching and dodging wildlife on his homestead in interior Alaska. It's a wild and lovely place where bears wander by, eagles soar overhead, squirrels build kingdoms, and mosquitos engage in savage warfare. He has a bachelor's degree in English education from Southern Oregon University and a master's in journalism from the University of Oregon. He served as a public-school teacher, principal, and director of nonprofit corporations.

Doylanne Wade has long told wilderness stories with her camera. Lady bugs, dragonflies, bumble bees, and ants; foxes, gray wolves, black bears, and lynx have all been captured with her camera in her more than forty years in Alaska. She has a special appreciation for the small creatures that mostly go unnoticed in a vast and majestic landscape. She now uses a DSLR camera with 150-600mm and 18-270 lenses.
