Autorenporträt
Lisa Weissler began her Alaska career in 1980 with a summer job as a forester with the U.S. Forest Service. Her career path took an opportune turn when she landed a job as a legislative assistant for the Alaska State Legislature in 1981. The jobs that followed, along with a law degree, gave Weissler a front row seat to Alaska's journey as an oil state. As staff to lawmakers and as a state oil and gas and natural resource attorney, she witnessed and participated in the tumultuous years when the oil industry made its biggest impacts on Alaska politics. Capitol Crude: The Impact of Oil on Alaska Politics draws on Weissler's decades of experience to provide a comprehensive history of how oil changed Alaska.
