The North Pole Was Here: Puzzles and Perils from the Top of the World

Dragonflies are showing up in Eskimo villages for the first time in memory, scaring small children. Robins, for which the native Arctic peoples have no name, are pecking at the tundra.

He joins climatologists and oceanographers on an expedition to study the mysteries of Arctic warming. Source notes. Suggestions for further reading. List of Internet resources. Acknowledgments.
