A symbol of strength, survival despite hardship and - more recently
- the perils of global warming, the polar bear wears many different
faces across the world. Polar Bears: A Life Under Threat is an
uncompromising exploration of the animal behind the mythos.
Rawicki's anthology transports us to the Arctic: the bears' home
territory. His photographs depict playful cubs, hunting mothers and
solitary adults on their yearly migration. The bears' innate
curiosity shines through, as they peer through windows and rear up
on their hind legs to study the camera. As well as trekking across
miles of dazzling snow, they forage in forests and towns - leading
to a striking series of photographs that document the relationship
between bear, man and environment. Accompanying these images are a
series of essays, poems and even a quiz, from the minds of Michel
Rawicki and his contributors: Hubert Reeves, astrophysicist, and
Remy Marion, author of several books about the polar regions. They
explain the challenges encountered by polar bears in the modern
age, and explore the future of a species threatened by climate
change and pollution.
