This book can best be described as a compact, portable guide to all of the Arctic's natural history, from a distinguished ecologist and author of After the Ice Age. Here is a field guide to the plants, birds, mammals, fish and some insects, and an explanation of many phenomena of sky, sea and terrain that enthrall all travellers in this area. It is packed with answers to naturalists' questions, and many questions naturalists' may not even have thought of. An invaluable guide to anyone planning an arctic journey, or simply interested in this remarkable environment.
