Stalking the Ice Dragon:
A Journey through Alaska and British Columbia
U. of Arizona Press, 1991
Winner
1992 Governor's Author's Award

As Susan and Ann Zwinger write in their introduction, “Women’s connection to wildness is deep, long-term, and unique.’”
Joni Takanikos, The Island Independent, 1995
