1: ursus maritimus forever
By Dag Stomberg (St. Andrews, Scotland)
I write to sound the praises of this extraordinary book.
Truly, a help for all of us to see the POLAR DISTRESS and
what to do for saving endangered bears.

3: Amazing facts and even more amazing photos!
Wow! I have a few of his books, all good, but this tops them all. I love polar bears and even have a few of his nature prints on my walls. This book is enlightening and the facts are alarming. Great job, once again.

4: continuing an amazing tradition....
I met Steve in Deadhorse (prudhoe bay) some years ago, and we have been friends ever since. It was my privledge to pass him on to other friends as he immersed himself into the Arctic. Steve is continuing a proud tradition of naturalist explorers and photographers that extend back to John Muir. I was in the area when National Geographic blew into Kaktovik, took a few photo ops and blew out. In contrast, Steve, like Micho Hoshino did, actually lives with the animals. He staked out a polar bear den for a month waiting for the opportunity of a few photos. Thousands of hours have been logged watching and waiting, most of them in rather challanging conditions.
Even more so, the very act of living a life of meditation in the wild will transform one's spirit and vision. He has honed his eye and awareness to a sharpness that few of us will either have the time, opportunity or dedication to achieve. I am in awe of the amazing clarity that he has brought to not only the great northern bears of the arctic, but to the ramifications of the whole world about us as we continue to lose that which every ecosystem should treasure. Bravo Steve.

5: The best Polar Bear book
I have been to Kaktovik before with the pilot that flew Steve for some of the aerial shots in this book. My visit to kaktovik was wonderful, we even saw Polar Bear tracks, but this book really brings the bear to life. Steve has done a marvelous job of capturing the spirit of the bear as well as the other life in Alaska's Arctic region. There are treasures within it's pages, not just the bears, but the people in the region and the other wildlife. It exemplifies much of what the Arctic is all about. I feel like I am back up there while looking through this book! A must for collectors of Alaska wildlife books! Thanks for bringing me back there, Steve, through your eyes and your talents! I love the book!
