Summary: A Good Read !!
Comment: As a retired mechanical engineer and private pilot I thoroughly enjoyed George Erickson's book "True North: exploring the Great Wilderness by Bush Plane".
He combines description of the vast and wonderous beauty of the Canadian Wilderness with the adventure of flying alone in a small float plane with the occasional sojourns into the realm of science, such as an explanation as to how as airplane flies. But you won't need an engineering degree or a pilots license to enjoy the book because it's all skillfully presented in layman terms. A good read!
Rating: 5
Summary: History Lessons
Comment: I enjoyed True North immensely. So many of us know so little of Canada and think of it as "that place up there." The book truly paints an inviting picture of the country.
As for the "soapbox" that one reviewer complained about, perhaps there needs to be more soapbox speakers who will inform us of the true story of events. Religion isn't all its cracked up to be.

Summary: Diamonds, Darwin, Death and Deceit - True No has them all.
Comment: Erickson's writing pulls the reader in for an exceptional odyssey through an Alaskan and Caanadian wilderness that most of us can only dream of. Better yet, it's a wonderful mix of Salmon and Sagan, Malthus and Musk oxen, plus caribou and Copernicus. No wonder it's a best seller! As one of my friends said after his second reading - Diamonds, Darwin, death and deceit - True North has them all.
