The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
One of the foremost scholars at work on Northwest Coast native art, Aldona Jonaitis is now director emerita of the Alaska Museum of the North, but is still more than active as professor (University of Alaska Fairbanks) and author. She is here with a sumptuous, major new work, The Totem Pole: An Intercultural History (University of Washington Press). Co-authored with Aaron Glass, and featuring sidebar contributions from Robert Davidson, Susan Point, Richard Hunt, Bill Holm, and others. Smart, scholarly, and with a sense of humor—cartoons and ads featuring totem poles are included—and a feast for the eye, this may be the fullest, most accessible book on totem poles yet published. It may also be the most essential, delving as it does into history, and into the diaspora of totem poles off to other parts of the world. Aldona Jonaitis' other books include Art of the Northwest Coast and Looking North: Art from the University of Alaska Museum, among many.
