As the old adage goes, "If you can't say it in a few pages, you won't in a hundred." The selections in Cold Flashes -- very short prose and black-and-white photographs -- embody perfectly this transparency, thrift and restraint. Found here are highly polished micro-narratives, both fiction and nonfiction, and a series of eloquent and artistic halftones that capture their sizeable subjects in a nutshell. By minimizing the exposition, the selections stimulate the imagination to reflect on the rich diversity of people and places that make up Alaska.

Wild Moments brings readers face to face with the North's incredible fauna through accounts by the best of contemporary nature writers. Their stories transcend the mere hunting-and-fishing or natural history narrative. The book's 33 selections showcase different species and capture wild animals in their essence: the magic and unpredictability, the humor, the pathos, the offbeat, bone-and-gristle, the smell of blood and the softness of fur.
