Very good reading. Because it is a collection of essays, you can gets lots from this book: natural history of the region, politics, sociocultural issues. Picking a nit, this gave the book a scattered feel. Also, some chapters far superior to others, I found myself skimming thru a few aimless chapters.
Beautiful collage of history and ecology of the Tongass

For those who would be more than casual visitors to this spectacular landscape, this collection of writings from various authors offers up pointed insight into man's relationshionship with the Tongass. From the best (and concise!) overview of the legal issue of subsistance in Alaska I've ever read to the quietly fantastical Tlingit story, the book contains the multi-faceted viewpoints of modern inhabitants and the issues shaping how we view this incredible place.
