Recensioner i media

"Historian and bibliographer Falk cites 3,030 published works, providing most with descriptive, summary, or explanatory annotations. They include works on the environment, prehistory, Alaska natives, Russian Alaska, and the US era. Other sections cover atlases, map literature and gazetteers; bibliographies and indexes; and selected manuscript guides and descriptions. Noting the advantage online databases have with such documents, he excludes government publications except historical expedition accounts or histories, and popular newspaper and magazine articles." - Reference & Research Book News
