This book combines stunning photography with essays to explore global warming and the threat to the polar bear habitat in the Arctic.

Each essay focussed on something different: a scientific viewpoint (but "dumbed" down so most of the rest of us who aren't scientists could read and understand it!), the viewpoint of the native population - the Inupiaq, an essay on polar bears, an essay on how oil drilling has and will continue to affect the environment, and more. In all of the essays, there was some discussion on the Inupiaq as well as on the polar bears and other wildlife that is affected by global warming and the change in the Arctic water temperature and lack of ice during the winters. The final essay consists of some things that we can all do to help protect the Arctic environment, and as a result, will also protect the polar bears and their habitat.
