The polar bear is one of the most recognisable animals on the planet. Yet if global warming continues at its present pace, summer sea ice could disappear entirely from the Arctic Ocean by the year 2040. Polar bears could be extinct within a generation. ” Ice Bear” is the definitive account of an iconic species: its life, its past, & its uncertain future. These beautiful bears are creatures of paradox: Arctic residents whose major problem is not staying warm, but keeping cool. Officially classed as marine mammals, they are the world`s largest land carnivores. They begin life in a snowdrift; at birth they weigh just twenty ounces. Fully grown, they become massive predators that can walk almost silently, ten feet in length & close to 2, 000 pounds. Wandering thousands of miles over the course of a year, they are, above all, creatures of the ice. Without sea ice & the life it supports, polar bears cannot survive. Kieran Mulvaney is an expert on the Polar regions who has led three expeditions to the Arctic as well as Project Thin Ice 2006: Save the Polar Bear
- the successful first attempt to reach the North Pole in summer & draw attention to the impact of climate change on polar bears. This book blends natural & human history, myth & reality with scientific & personal observation, to tell the story of these remarkable animals, the region in which they dwell, & the rapid changes overtaking planet Earth.

One of the titles in a series of maps of the administrative departments of Peru, with topography shown by altitude colouring and spot heights. Most maps also indicate cultivated areas. Scales vary considerably, given different sizes of the departments. Railways and four different types of roads and dirt tracks are shown, as well as local airports and aerodromes. The maps also show the subdivisions of the departments into provinces and districts, indicating administrative capital of each unit. Most sheets also include a panel with general information about the state (e.g. population distribution, climate, etc.). Latitude and longitude grid is drawn at 1º intervals, making this series very useful for identifying the locations of small places on the 1:100, 000 topographic survey of
the country. Map legend is in Spanish only. Publication dates vary from mid-1980s to mid-1990s, with a handful of titles revised later. Each map shows one department only and no detail of any kind is given for the adjacent departments, beyond their names.
