"The World of the Polar Bear" is an unsurpassed photographic tribute to one of nature's most compelling and beautiful animals and to the world in which it lives. Here, in an unforgiving ecosystem, animals and birds come together in a delicate balance of life. Each year, thousands of people from around the world travel to Churchill, Manitoba, to see polar bears, northern lights, whales and the annual bird migrations. However, the king of the region is the polar bear, superbly adapted for life in one of the most severe landscapes on Earth. The acclaimed photographer, Norbert Rosing, follows the polar bear through each season. The book features 175 color photographs, 4 color gatefolds, map, facts and figures, bibliography and index. |
