Bering Strait Crossing: Asia to Alaska?(LITERARY)(Brief article)(Book review)

Information Architects has published "The Bering Strait Crossing," written by James A. Oliver. The book describes the 53-mile-wide waterway as a geographical crossroads linking East with West. The Bering Strait separates the Europe-Asia landmass and the Americas, and has been the focus of several proposals to cross the strait, via rail, ferry and tunnel. "The Bering Strait Crossing" suggests that the strait has the potential to become a global shipping connection via the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route between Europe, North America and Asia.
