[EAN: 9781550131079], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Key Porter Books Limited., Toronto, Canada], POLAR BEARS., Nature|Bears, Jacket, This lavishly illustrated large format hard cover book explores the rich history of man's fascination with polar bears: the Neanderthals worshipped them, the Vikings hunted them, the Romans kept them for sport. To the Inuit, polar bears were a vital food source; to Europeans and Egyptians, their pelts were highly prized as the most luxurious of furs; and to early Arctic explorers, they were a formidable obstacle to quests for the Northwest Passage. Packed with photographs, archival pictures and etchings the text describes their life cycle, hunting, mating and birth rituals and the unique symbiotic relationship between the bears and the seals who share their habitat. WORLD OF THE POLAR BEAR enchants the reader with over 112 magnificent colour photographs complemented by archival photographs and etchings. In the accompanying text, Bruemmer relates adventuers' tales, biologists' details, and his own intimate experience of what has been called 'The Arctic Ring of Life'."
