ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

br. Stefano Elmi si licenzia, impacchetta la sua bici e parte con un biglietto di sola andata per Calgary con una vaga idea di andare verso nord suggestionato dalle letture di Jack London e altri avventurieri. Da lì muove verso le Montagne Rocciose, lo Yukon, il Klondike e poi procede verso il confine fra Canada e Alaska, percorre la Denali Highway, giungendo ai piedi della grande montagna, poi va verso sud, ad Anchorage e fino alla penisola di Kenai, dove la strada finisce. Scopre che in Alaska può fare anche caldo; incontra pensionati americani coi loro immensi motorhome, nativi completamente sbronzi, pistoleri di confine, orsi e caribù; trangugia hamburger pessimi e birre giganti, ma gli capita anche di soffrire la fame e la sete lungo i 5000 chilometri di una strada che sembra non finire mai.

A clean, unmarked copy with a tight binding. Previous owner's name on dust jacket blurb. "The book first presents a concise summary of the health aspects of traditional Alaskan cultures, then reconstructs the best available picture of the various deseases from which the people suffered up to the time of the first European contact. Next, the narrative follows the often uneven growth of health services in Alaska, from the ships' surgeons on the earliest voyages of exploration and the unique health care system of the Russian-American Company to the American medical missions in the hectic times of the Gold Rush. The final section provides sketches of certain health problems having a profound impact on Alaska history, including smallpox, influenza, syphilis, tuberculosis, and alcohol abuse." 393 pages.
