Featuring superb color illustrations, this one-of-a-kind book covers the complete spectrum of wildlife--more than 800 species of plants, fishes, butterflies, birds, and mammals--that inhabit the Arctic's polar deserts, tundra, taiga, sea ice, and oceans. It can be used anywhere in the entire Holarctic region, including Norway's Svalbard archipelago, Siberia, the Russian Far East, islands of the Bering Sea, Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, and Greenland. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, size, habitat, range, scientific name, and the unique characteristics that enable these organisms to survive in the extreme conditions of the Far North. A color distribution map accompanies each species account, and alternative names in German, French, Norwegian, Russian, Inuit, and Inupiaq are also provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFeatures superb color plates that allow for quick identification of more than 800 species of plants, fishes, butterflies, birds, and mammals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed species accounts and color distribution maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the flora and fauna of the entire Arctic region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I can think of no other book that covers the same territory so completely.\"\u003cb\u003e--George L.
