There are four required books and one course pack for this course, all of which are available at the University Book Store .

• Coates, Peter A. The Trans-Alaskan Pipeline Controversy: Technology, Conservation, and the Frontier .
  University of Alaska Press, 1993.
• Durbin, Kathie. Tongass: Pulp Politics and the Fight for the Alaska Rain Forest .

• Haycox, Stephen W. Frigid Embrace: Politics, Economics, and Environment in Alaska .

Please note: the UBookstore currently has a fifth book listed as required, entitled "Northern Landscapes." This is incorrect.

Each of these texts offers a unique perspective on critical events in the development of modern Alaska. Two of the books are fairly general in scope (Frigid Embrace and Environmental Conflict in Alaska), while the other two offer more directed coverage of specific issues.
