Summary:

Drawing on her wide experience in the Arctic, distinguished ecologist E. C. Pielou provides field guides to plants, birds, mammals, fish, and some insects; and she explains the many phenomena of sea, sky, and terrain that amaze arctic travelers. Richly illustrated with more than 400 of the author's drawing and maps, it will be a treasure for all who care about this spectacular land. Whether planning an arctic journey, doing one, or enjoying memories of one, this book is indispensible. Designed as a compact source of information for those who must limit their load--hikers, kayakers, canoeists, rafters, photographers, and naturalists of all kinds--this guide will ensure that naturalists in the Arctic miss nothing. -- From back cover.
