The essays are thoughtful and well written, with facts laid out and arguments presented logically and objectively. The message is clear, but the messengers understand that beating us to death with rhetoric and hyperbole might not be the best way to go about things. — Libbie Martin, Fairbanks Daily News Minor - March 31, 2008
Kazlowski's photos are superb-elegant, breathtaking, magnificent-all the hyperbole not used in the text can be attached to the pictures. They are stunning visual compositions that show the Arctic in all its savage, raw, beautiful wonder. The bears pictured here are not stuffed toys or marketing creations. They are Nature's creatures, playful and loving at times, savage and wild at others. If ever a cause had a face, it would be this. — Libbie Martin, Fairbanks Daily News Minor - March 31, 2008
