Where Mountains Are Nameless book. This book is very similar to Under the Arctic Sun: Gwich'in, Caribou & the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by Ken Madsen in a number of ways. Like the Madsen book, it is a travelogue of Waterman's experiences in the refuge. Waterman's unique angle is that he weaves in a biography of ANWR pioneers Olaus and Mardy Murie into his own stories, putatively showing how his experiences are similar to those of the Murie's. Unfortunately, like the Madsen book, this book is deeply flawed.
