Our world view has changed from a flat earth under the dome of heaven to a planet spinning in the universe. We perceived the world as a body; like ours; then as a tree; a pyramid; an altar; and finally as a veil which became a window through which we peered only to discover ourselves on a sphere; a bubble which might burst at any moment. Our changing views are interpreted through iconic images of the remote and more recent past: the Venus of Willendorf; the Pyramids; Stonehenge; the Taj Mahal; the Scream; Sydney Opera House; and the Guggenheim; Bilbao.

I read it (in a single day) before joining Wayne Lynch on an expedition to the high Arctic Ocean. It is the most complete single source of information on polar bears that I have ever read; wonderfully illustrated with Waynes photos [although; under his guidance I was able to achieve better ones on my most recent trip. ;0) ] One example of great info: ever wonder why polar bear cubs are so "fuzzy?" Buy and read the book and youll understand the difference between baby bear fur and adult fur.Very highly recommended!2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
