"Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s nomination as vice presidential candidate by John McCain not only changed the landscape of the current election, but also marked a shift in leadership style across our country. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian Faith, the author discusses the leadership principles that made Palin successful."

"In this, the first book on the effects of Exxon Valdez in 15 years, scientists directly involved in studying the spill provide a comprehensive perspective on, and synthesis of, scientific information on long-term spill effects. The coverage is multidisciplinary, with chapters discussing a range of issues including effects on biota, successes and failures of post-spill studies and techniques, and areas of continued disagreement. An even-handed and critical examination of more than two decades of scientific study, this is an invaluable guide for studying future oil spills and, more broadly, for unraveling the consequences of any large environmental disruption."

"Artikel ini membahas mengenai sikap politik luar negeri Amerika Serikat dalam menghadapi sengketa perbatasan Alaska dan British Columbia yang saat itu bersamaan dengan terjadinya Demam Emas Klondike. Pembelian Alaska dari Rusia oleh Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1867 dan bergabungnya British Columbia menjadi salah satu provinsi Kanada pada tahun 1871 menyebabkan Alaska berbatasan langsung dengan wilayah Kanada. Pada tahun 1896, ditemukan emas di wilayah Sungai Klondike di Teritori Yukon dan terjadi demam emas hingga beberapa tahun berikutnya yang berdampak positif pada ekonomi Amerika Serikat dan Kanada. Dampak ekonomi dari demam emas ditambah dengan ketidakjelasan perbatasan menyebabkan Kanada mengklaim sebagian wilayah Alaska yang di mana Amerika menganggap bahwa klaim tersebut tidak sesuai perjanjian perbatasan yang telah diwariskan Inggris dan Rusia pada 1825. Artikel ini disusun dengan menggunakan metode sejarah berupa heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi, dengan menggunakan berbagai sumber primer dan sekunder yang relevan. Penelitian terdahulu mengenai topik ini lebih berfokus membahas penyebab dan proses penyelesaian sengketa dari sudut pandang politik, tanpa membahas peristiwa Demam Emas Klondike yang sebenarnya merupakan faktor penting dalam eskalasi sengketa ini. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa sikap politik luar negeri Amerika Serikat dalam kasus ini dipengaruhi oleh bangkitnya imperialisme Amerika Serikat pada akhir abad ke-19. Diharapkan bahwa penelitian ini dapat meningkatkan pemahaman mengenai geopolitik di Amerika Utara pada akhir abad ke-19.

This article discusses the foreign policy stance of the United States in dealing with the Alaska and British Columbia boundary dispute which at that time coincided with the Klondike Gold Rush. The purchase of Alaska from Russia by the United States in 1867 and the incorporation of British Columbia into a province of Canada in 1871 caused Alaska to border directly with Canadian territory. In 1896, gold was discovered in the Klondike River region in the Yukon Territory and a gold rush occurred over the next few years which had a positive impact on the economies of the United States and Canada. The economic impact of the gold rush coupled with unclear boundary lines caused Canada to claim part of Alaska, which America considered that this claim was not in accordance with the boundary agreement inherited by the United Kingdom and Russia in 1825. This article was prepared using historical methods in the form of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, using a variety of relevant primary and secondary sources. Previous research on this topic focused more on discussing the causes and process of dispute resolution from a political perspective, without discussing the Klondike Gold Rush which was an important factor in the escalation of this dispute. This article shows that the foreign policy stance of the United States in this case was influenced by the rise of American imperialism at the end of the 19th century. It is hoped that this research will improve understanding of geopolitics in North America in the late 19th century."
