Product Description

Review

This photo-narrative profiles three northern watersheds--the Peel, Stikine and Alsek-Tatshenshini. It's meant to grip you and shake you--and it does, in spades. Rivetting stories of river-running by Madsen and his friends, expert kayakers all, combine with the author's equally competent photography to blast home a single, heartfelt message to the reader. Save this wild land, or the dream of untouched northern wilderness will soon become a nightmare, under presure as it already is by exploitive interests. Madsen, instrumental in the establishment of Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Park and the Yukon Wildlands Project, makes an urgent and serious plea for help--which the exciting, upbeat river tales only serve to enhance. -- Explore, Feb./Mar. 1997

Book Description

Adventurer Ken Madsen makes the case for preserving northern wilderness through heart-stopping stories and dramatic colour photos of wild rivers of the Yukon, British Columbia and Alaska. The book profiles three watersheds (Alsek-Tatshenshini, Peel and Stikine) where it is still possible to protect the natural ecosystems needed by wildlife whose range in North America is shrinking rapidly. A portion of the royalties from Wild Rivers, Wild Lands will go to the Yukon Wildlands Project.
