Excerpt from Where We Found a Whale: A History of Lake Clark National Park and ReserveThe history in these pages combines oral his tory with Western science, especially with archaeol ogy. People think of archaeologists as romantic, swashbuckling figures in search of buried treasure and lost civilizations. In truth, few archaeologists are swashbucklers. They wouldn't last long in a science that demands rigorous excavation methods and a concern for conserving the past for the future. Today's archaeologists are team players who work with Native American communities and with scientists from all manner of disciplines, from botany and climatology to zoology and heritage management.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
