Arctic Fox - Life at the Top of the World

Curious, innovative and mysterious survivors of the arctic tundra.
Ever since explorers began venturing north into the harsh lands of the arctic, they have encountered arctic foxes in the unlikeliest of places. The arctic fox is an extraordinary creature. No bigger than a house cat, it survives on almost nothing in the middle of a land so hostile it seems incompatible with the very existence of life. The tundra is a place of endless days or endless nights where temperatures can reach -58°F (-50°C) for weeks at a time, and where the terrain consists mostly of ice sheets, pack ice, ice floes, icebergs, ice shelves and glaciers.

Arctic Fox tells the story of this animal from its evolutionary beginnings to its difficult life in the far north involving:

• Mating and raising a family
• Hunting and scavenging
• Its relationship with the polar bear and other arctic inhabitants
• The fur trade
• Adaptation to seasonal changes
• The never-ending struggle for survival in a fragile and vanishing environment.

Face to Face with Polar Bears

Despite surviving this nightmare, award-winning photographer Norbert Rosing loves the charming, playful side of the polar bear. Yes, they slashed his tires, but mankind is now ruining their climate and environment. Surely the bears' anger is understandable. Rosing's book connects children with the consequences of global warming, and gives practical advice on how to help save our white-furred friends.

The World of the Polarbear

Norbert Rosing has travelled regularly to the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1988, enthusiastically gleaning everything he can about the arctic world from the perspective of its human and animal residents. In this distant, often inhospitable region, he has succeeded in gathering a stunning collection of images documenting one of the world's most fascinating habitats. In the book, Rosing serves as our exceptional guide to the four seasons of the Arctic. Through his eyes we learn about the lives and behaviours of polar bears, witness the antics of arctic fox kits, see the migration of birds in spring and much more. An informative and entertaining text complements Rosing's beautiful photographic work, transporting the reader to a land very few of us well ever experience firsthand.

Yellowstone - America's Playground

Yellowstone National Park represents one of the planet's most breathtaking natural landscapes. In a stunning and comprehensive portfolio that documents each season in the park, award-winning photographer Norbert Rosing reveals Yellowstone's rich and varied landscape of geysers, hot springs, pristine lakes, towering waterfalls and spectacular canyons, as well as the park's thriving wildlife. These annotated images are a unique tribute to these symbols of the North American wilderness.
