"Arctic Passages takes readers on a tour through the threatened ecosystem of the Far North, weaving the history of the search for the Northwest Passage with the meltdown taking place today. It's an important, beautifully written book that highlights the urgent need to act on climate change—for polar bears, their fragile sea ice habitat, and all of us."
