UNTAMED ALASKA

UNTAMED ALASKA - 10th Anniversary Edition

Fierce grizzly bears fighting, gorging on salmon in preparation for a long cold winter - - a volcano erupting - - a snow-white arctic fox snoozing in a snow bank - - a bull moose answering a challenge amidst flaming autumn tundra - - the shimmer of northern lights - - magical scenes which virtually whisper as they reflect rose-colored alpenglow or patterns in mud and sand - - these and other colorful scenes or subjects bring out the untamed quality of Alaska.

In expanding upon and abridging the original book, we tried to select those most evocative photographs to convey our message - - this is a place upon which man should tread upon lightly, very lightly - - or, in some virgin areas - - if at all.

Steve and Yogi Kaufman are proud of their results which reviewers say exceed the original UNTAMED ALASKA in its beauty and workmanship. In daring to improve upon what has been a truly beautiful best seller we tried hard to include a mix of Alaska's makeup, from tiny flowers to mountains or vistas which todays youths term "humongous" or "awesome". We bring you Alaska - A State of Mind!

Yogi Kaufman

"As impressive as its subject, UNTAMED ALASKA celebrates the timeless yet vulnerable splendor of the Alaskan wilderness."

Gaylord Nelson The Wilderness Society

"You can almost smell the fresh, cold air of our 49th state when you open this book of stunning landscape and wildlife photography....Steve Kaufman and his father, Yogi(a retired vice admiral who left the Navy to follow in his photographer-son's footsteps), have explored Alaska, their travels yielding images ranging from a charming closeup of a willow ptarmigan puffed up on the frost-covered arctic tundra to a majestic view of a lavender dawn over Mount McKinley. Nature lovers and Alaska buffs are sure to love this book, but all you really need to enjoy it is an appreciation for razor-sharp detail and breathtaking color".

Jane S. Chou American Photographer

"Today visitors to Alaska take home mental images of rich and free and innocent wild creatures . But will people 50 years from now be able to find, observe, and photograph birds and animals in their natural world as the Kaufmans have done for us in this book? . . . There may be people who feel no need for nature. They are fortunate, perhaps. but for those of us who feel otherwise, who feel something is missing unless we can hike across land disturbed only by our footsteps or see creatures roaming freely as they have always done, surely there should still be a wilderness. Species other than man have rights, too".
