Changing Paths: Travels and Meditations in Alaska's Arctic Wilderness is an autobiographical exploration of author Bill Sherwonit's relationship with the Alaska wilderness. Written in three parts, it first describes Sherwonit's introduction to the Brooks Range and his years as an exploration geologist.

He concludes with his emergence as a nature writer and wilderness advocate. An engrossing, |
