Vanishing World: The Endangered Arctic

Published to coincide with the International Polar Year, this is an unprecedented visual record of life in the Arctic. Five years in the making, this book is both a celebration of the wildlife that inhabits this harsh and unforgiving climate and a cautionary tale of global warming. Set against a dramatic landscape of ice floes and ragged mountains, readers will see the polar bears, foxes, seals, walrus, and reindeer who now struggle to live in this vulnerable climate.
