Caribou Rising: Defending the Porcupine Herd, Gwich-'in Culture and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: 0 - Hardcover

"Rick Bass says we must not destroy an ancient culture and another ecosystem for petroleum. Simple as that. Caribou Rising is a great read and utterly compelling in its reasoning. Bravo!"--William Kittredge, author of The Nature of Generosity and The Best Short Stories of William Kittredge

"Rick Bass, the gifted novelist and our most prolific western conservation writer, turns his keen hunter's eye to the besieged caribou land of the Gwich-'in--the Brooks Range and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. As an ex-gas and oil geologist, Bass argues with logic and passion, blasting away at the ignorance and greed of the Bush Administration's misled campaign to open the refuge to drilling."--Doug Peacock, author of Grizzly Years and inspiration for the rabble-rousing Hayduke in The Monkey Wrench Gang
