Fifty Miles from Tomorrow: A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People
With what he describes as an excess of passion and a profound sense of optimism, he served two terms in the state legislature, helped found the Northwest Alaska Native Association and the Alaska Federation of Natives, and assumed leadership of the Alaska Village Electrical Cooperative—all at more or less the same time, and all while crusading on behalf of native land rights.

Freaks and Geeks; Teens discover that taking charge of their lives is not as easy as they believed it would be
[Patrick Jones] weakens his premise -- that too much parental control drives kids to self-destruct -- with thinly drawn adult characters, from [Paul]'s Jesus-loving mother to [Johanna]'s ex-Marine dad. Johanna's insensitive, chain-smoking mother gets the most exposure as the primary force behind Johanna's poor choices. \"I sensed maybe my mother was watching me,\" Johanna says later, after embracing Paul. \"I must have smelled the smoke in the air, so I held the kiss for a very long time.\" From the Springsteen lyrics rumbling through the deck of Paul's Firebird to the trickles of Johanna's frequent tears, this dark story winds its way around the tension between freedom and control. Jones, author of several books for librarians, writes with considerable passion. Though his approach is heavy- handed, readers will feel for Johanna and Paul as they try to make sense of their problems.
