Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book for a co-worker. Select people at our photography studio buy gifts for each other, but this recipient is always left out. For the price today, you cannot convince me that there is a better gift. It is a substantial book, about 11x14 size, has some heft to it, and has a beautiful cover that only adds to the presentation. I am proud to give this, no matter what the cost, to a friend and coworker that has given me many things over the last few years. I would be proud to own this book, and I would not hesitate to give it to anyone as a gift. It was a steal on amazon. Had I not been bargain shopping, I would easily have expected to pay $40+ for this book and would have not been disappointed.

The North Pole's fierce beauty has drawn many explorers to its unforgiving environment. Francis Latreille is one of the intrepid, having participated in expeditions there for the last 20 years, and in White Paradise he introduces readers to the region's inhabitants and surroundings, illustrating its dramatic allure with his photographs. More than a tribute to the Arctic Circle, Latreille's book covers the growing threat to the North Pole's very existence—global warming—and documents this phenomenon's devastating effects, specifically the melting of the North Pole's ice fields and gradual diminishing of its massive glaciers. It includes work from the famous Mammuthus expedition in 1999, where a virtually intact mammoth carcass was extracted from the North Pole's tundra. White Paradise is Abrams' contribution to the International Polar Year, revealing with beauty and dedication this mysterious frozen corner of the world.
