- Reading
- Browse the contents together and let the reader choose a topic to explore first. Try one of the listed projects afterwards, then return to the related animal, landscape or people section.
- Themes
- Polar environments and conservation: The book introduces distinctive polar environments and wildlife, and explicitly gives conservation importance within its coverage. It presents conservation as a reason to learn about the poles, within an informational survey of habitats, animals and research.
- A topic-by-topic introduction: The contents move among polar features, wildlife, Inuit people, herder life, exploration, modern life and scientific research. The book uses a broad-to-detailed survey structure, with discrete subject sections and projects rather than a continuous narrative.
- Worth knowing
- The book addresses conservation of distinctive polar environments. This makes human responsibility for wildlife and habitats a useful point to notice, alongside its coverage of animals and scientific research.
