Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World (Kindle Single)

Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World tells the riveting story of seven American hikers who went on a wilderness adventure into Canada's Arctic tundraâ€”polar bear countryâ€”and came back with a tale of terror: the hikersâ€™ harrowing encounter with a polar bear; the plight of the polar bear in general, facing starvation and extinction as the sea ice melts and its habitat disappears; and of the Arctic meltdown, an advanced symptom of man-made climate change that is touching everyone, everywhere. The book is based on interviews with all seven hikers as well as many of the world's experts on polar bears and sea ice. It also includes first-hand reporting from the site where the hikers pitched their tents one fateful night next to a breathtaking fjord.....
