About this product
Product Information
This book celebrates the Arctic, exploring the natural history that has so inspired generations. Early travellers to the Arctic brought back tales of amazing creatures and of the endurance required of visitors, the Arctic becoming a land of inspiration and imagination. Adventurers test themselves against it. Its wildlife still amazes - when film and television show Earth's natural wonders it is always the polar regions that draw the biggest audiences. But today the Arctic is in retreat. Humanity's relentless exploitation of the Earth's resources in the pursuit of progress has, it seems, altered the climate and threatens the ice and ice-living organisms. It is a cliche that the loss of a species diminishes us, but it is true nonetheless. Even to people who have never seen a Polar Bear its loss will be immeasurable as the bear is iconic, both defining and reflecting the Arctic. This Traveller's Guide is designed to give visitors a handy identification guide to the wildlife they might see as they travel around, including stunning photography and detailed descriptions of each species.Product Identifiers

Disappointing and doesn’t really fit the bill
As others have said, the font size is small and does impinge on my willingness to pick this book up to flick through it. The descriptive content is very detailed but I would have preferred less of this and a larger font. There is no indication of size which for the birds in particular, I feel is quite a significant omission. Also, unlike a couple of other bird guides I have, no “ at a glance” map indicating distribution. I bought it for my trip to Svalbard this summer but I will continue to search for a better alternative in the hope that I can leave this at home.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
