Binding: Paperback
Description: In 1899, railroad magnate Edward H. Harriman organised a most unusual summer voyage to the wilds of Alaska: He converted a steamship into a luxury 'floating university populated by some of America's best and brightest scientists and writers including the anti - capitalist eco - prophet John Muir. More than a hundred years later Mark Adams sets out to retrace the 1899 expedition. Along the way he encounters dozens of unusual characters (and a couple of very hungry bears) and investigates how lessons learned in 1899 might relate to Alaska's current struggles in adapting to climate change.
