Review

...Offers an array of articles about the sound...One piece looks back on the extraordinary force of the 1964 Good Friday earthquake, another describes the rebuilding of Valdez. -- The Morning News Tribune, Tacoma, WA

This issue looks at the region's resources; its economic hub, Valdez; its people; and its spectacular scenery. From a wilderness loaded with fishing and recreational opportunities to a major oil industry terminal, Prince William Sound delicately balances environmental values with pro-development economics. With index. 112 pages. -- Publisher
