Praise for Wildlife Watch on an Alaska Cruise

"There are a host of books on Alaska cruising . . . [this is] one of the best . . ." Phil Reimer, in his cruising column, "Ports and Bows."

" . . . this is a wonderful little book, packed with good information about what you'll see and some of the best places to see it. I like the "voice" that presents so much solid information gracefully and with a genuine sense of pleasure in what will be seen on a trip." Marge Hermans, author of several acclaimed Alaska natural history guides.
