I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys wildlife or nature. The photos are amazing and there is just enough information about each picture. I've never seen more breathe taking pictures of polar bears and their habitat.

This is is a beautiful coffee tableThis is a beautiful coffee table book that is under-serviced by its photos online. The quality of the pictures, text and even the manufacturing are excellent. It makes for an amazing gift for anyone who appreciates Polar Bears, Nature or even art books in general.

This book is beautiful. It is all about Polar Bears up-close and personal. It's a keeper for sure.

Ours is essentially a tragic age, what about Global Warming? The polar bear is relevant. Scientists believe the polar bear will be the first to be threatened with extinction due to climate change in the North.

The World of the Polar Bear by Norbert Rosing merits close study.

The possible fate of the polar bear places the reality of climate change as a very serious matter to be considered by all of us!

Norbert Rosing's gorgeous full-page polar bear photos capture the world of the Far North like no other, appearing in an oversized presentation to properly display the full-page color photos and polar bear information. Here are seasonal shots accompanied by a lively text melding personal observation and experience with natural history fact. Sure to be a popular browsing choice for any public lending library with patrons interested in bears or wildlife, "The World of the Polar Bear" is a highly recommended acquisition.

Do not pass this one by. THe World of the Polar Bear is a visual delight. To me it is the epitome of a book for a prominent spot in your home or library. 'Wonderful gift for anyone and especially one who loves wildlife.

The book is stellar because it is not only full of superior photography, but because the photography captures this beauty of nature in poses and landscapes that one could only experience up close in the wild. The work is beautiful.

The book is appropriate now because the bears face possible extinction and having such a timely book will only raise awareness of this issue and hopefully provide motivation for people to support solutions.

I find it hard to be any more specific about this book as how can one put beauty into specific words. It is what it is and I remain awed.

This book is amazing in several aspects! The photography itself is breathtaking and not only includes the polar bear as subject - but also it's habitat,(and the other species that share it)with it's seasonal changes. The photography itself increases in incredibility when you stop to think of the ardous task of photographing this beautiful animal without disrupting it's daily life; it's almost as if the polar bears are performing and posing on cue! The photographer brings this process to life in the journal-like entries. This book is appropriate for all ages as it does not exhibit any frightening scenes and only sparse vague descriptive dialog of feedings. Several of the photos are alternately touching and amusing. I hope this book can serve as a wakeup call in preserving this vanishing amazing animal!

Anyone who appreciates photography and has a love for wildlife will want to buy this book. I ordered it right after my return from Churchill, Manitoba, where a lot of the pictures were taken. I had seen it while in Churchill at close to $50.00. It is absolutely fabulous, and I am extremely jealous of mine. It just makes me want to go back again and again to see those incredible creatures once more.

This is a really good book. The pictures of the arctic and of the polar animals living up there are very beautiful. It also had some good information about the arctic ice cap and about the polar bear's life style. This book came in handy for me because I used it for a speech I was doing and gave good information. Overall, it is a good book and highly recommended.

Bought this for my son who loves polar bears. He carries this book everywhere he goes. It has great pictures. Would recommend this book to anyone.
