About the AuthorE. C. Pielou, a former professor of mathematical ecology and Killam Professor at Dalhousie University, has been a naturalist all her life. She is the author of many books, most recently Fresh Water, A Naturalist's Guide to the Arctic, and After the Ice Age, all published by the University of Chicago Press.Product DescriptionThis book is a practical, portable guide to all of the Arctic's natural history-sky, atmosphere, terrain, ice, the sea, plants, birds, mammals, fish, and insects-for those who will experience the Arctic firsthand and for armchair travelers who would just as soon read about its splendors and surprises. It is packed with answers to naturalists' questions and with questions-some of them answered-that naturalists may not even have thought of.From the Back CoverWhether planning an arctic journey, doing one, or enjoying memories of one, this book is indispensable. 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.
