I'm currently reading 'An Inconvenient Truth' and side by side to it, a book by Charles Wohlforth, 'The Whale and the Supercomputer'. It examines climate changes in interior and northern Alaska. It is a good read- Wohlforth makes it an intimate account of the Inupiats' way of life.

I just finished Heather Lende's book 'If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name'. It too s a good read about life in a small town, a town that doesn't have the usual 'down south' expectations. Lende lives in Haines in Southeast Alaska. She also writes for the Anchorage Daily News so she is well known.

I'm also re-reading Gail Sheehy's 'Passages', a book I first read maybe 40 years ago. It amazes me how different it sounds to me now.
