Synopsis:
Between 1950 and 2000 the population of Anchorage, Alaska, grew from 30,000 to over 260,000. That population explosion changed the city nearly overnight as new buildings and developments were erected to handle the growing number of contemporary pioneers. Photographer Clark James Mishler moved to Anchorage at just the right time to capture the city in transition. The photographs collected here in "Anchorage: Life at the Edge of the Frontier" are a stunning visual record of the past decades of rapid growth, followed by a slow, steady process of urbanization. Mishler's beautifully produced book is perfect for armchair travelers and adventurers and for everyone intrigued by America's unique city in the north.
About the Author: Clark James Mishler lives in Anchorage, where he works as a freelance photographer. His work has appeared in numerous regional and national publications.
