Media Reviews
Of all the books on polar bears that I have seen, this is certainly the finest. The quality of the writing, the sheer scope of the carefully researched scientific information ... coupled with the absolutely unique impact of the amazing photographs make this a book to be treasured by everyone who responds to the wonder of the arctic world. I highly recommend it. - The Beaver It would be advisable for anyone in polar bear country- or just interested in polar bears for that matter- to read this book. The colour pictures are exciting and varied. Scientific and anecdotal information is abundant. - Canadian Geographic This text, when combined with the spectacular photography of Guravich, leaves one with a sense of awe that has not been falsely engrandized ... No one who has the time to leaf through the photographs in this book will be disappointed, they are a wonderful supplement to Stirling's text. - Society for Marine Mammalogy Nowhere before have we seen photos that capture polar bears in such a diverse range of situations and poses ... Stirling beguiles us with fascinating facts. - Northwest Explorer Here fascinating, accurate science is interwoven in an icy matrix with humanly rich Inuit lore. The result is the best available book on polar bears. - Stephen Herrero, author of Bear Attacks . . . provides a wealth of information about polar bears. . .in a thoroughly captivating manner. This fascinating and thorough investigation of the polar bear is required reading for anyone who is interested in wildlife and, particularly, the North. - Canadian Book Review Annual
