Review :
"Barry Sweet's talent, tenacity, curiosity, and power to engage real people in their everyday lives is apparent in every chapter." --Howard Giske, curator of photography, Museum of History & Industry, Seattle
"It's a wonderful chronicle!"--Spencer Jones, former West Coast photo editor, the "Associated Press"
"These great photographs bring back memories. The blend of history and Barry Sweet's experience as a Pacific Northwest photojournalist is amazing."--Carl Davaz, photo Editor, "Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard"
"They say a picture is worth a thousand words--so true! This is a great retrospective." --Brett K. Maly, appraiser, ""Pawn Stars,"" the History Channel
"Amnesia is a cliched plot device. Wolverines are not. Mix in a remote Alaska cabin and odd neighbors and you have the quirky fundamentals of Nita Nettleton's debut novel, The Wake-Up Call of the Wild. It is a bit mystery, a bit self-discovery, and a lot of gutsy, womanly wit... It has great momentum, with its fluid prose and unexpected developments... The Wake-Up Call of the Wild is a lark, a gentle and witty tale... it is well written and a charming entertainment."
--Shana Loshbaugh, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
