Georg Steller was the first scientist to set foot in the western half of North America when he sailed to Alaska with Vitus Bering. Steller's Island is a fascinating biography of the man who first catalogued the amazing wildlife of Alaska for a European audience. Not only did he leave a scientific record for all those who came afterward, his observations and knowledge of Alaska's flora and fauna saved the lives of Bering's crew several times over.
